    They still teach not to use Wikipedia (although inoculating against misinformation is impossible when your curriculum is literally misinformation). I don’t think all the hate on Wikipedia is warranted but you still shouldn’t use it as a citation (click on the references, people!)

      Yea my understanding has always been its not that “Wikipedia isn’t a valid source” it’s “Wikipedia literally cites all its information, use that” it would be like if you cited “a book” as a reference.
