Reply to comment by stealthdawg in LPT: Don't cite Wikipedia articles, but do use their sources. by codenamendgo

Glad teachers have caught on. When I was in school they just blanket banned Wikipedia and had no idea there even were sources in the articles. Granted that was 20 years ago lol

I mean, same thing now as a 'blanket ban.'

Wikipedia isn't a valid source, but you didn't need permission to follow the citations

... nobody's "caught on." Wikipedia is still not valid. If you have to be told that going to the sources that the wiki cites is a completely different kettle... well, I'd hate to read one of your papers.
