I always started my projects with wikipedia to have an idea of what I'm doing and get references from there. Just don't list wikipedia on your references!
Ugh, we just went over this. It's not that the information can be highly accurate, it's that it's a secondary source.

All that's said is that you cannot use wiki as a primary source in a graded paper. Wikipedia has 50 million entries, so it probably cannot be 100% accurate in all detail, but no encyclopedia is.
As if we haven't been using wikipedia anyway this whole time.

True dat, but any time you're in a dispute about anything and cite wikipedia to prove them wrong, they go: "Dude, you're seriously quoting Wikipedia? *lol*" which is internetish for "Ok, you proved me wrong, however, I choose to pretend I'm right nevertheless"
