You quote Wikipedia as a reliable source, which is always a bad idea. I had a professor back in university who would tear any essay apart when it cited wikipedia as a source. :lol: He's right though, Wikipedia isn't reliable.

Sorry to pile on, Crusader. But... :P

I am quite willing to agree with your professor on the subject of Wikipedia as a reference for a scholarly essay. In that case, you should be referring to less general publications. In my day, we were stoutly warned against using the likes of the Encylopedia Britannica for much the same reasons. I would argue that the reliability of Wikipedia is not, on the whole, much less than a paper-based encyclopedia.

For the purpose of general discussion (such as we have here) Wikipedia is usually rather good as a starting place to get an overview of the topic. And, as Pete noted, any article is only as good as its references, which is where a scholarly paper should be starting anyway.
