> At university of course you’re warned not to use Wikipedia, it’s not acceptable as a reference The reason for this is too often misconstrued as being that Wikipedia is somehow misleading. The reality is that you do you reference something that is not a primary source. When everything on Wikipedia ostensibly has to link to something, it is just lazy to cite "wikipedia" as source for something. I mean, I imagine you couldn't just say "New York Library" as a source for a fact either in university. You'd cite the actual source.
