How would someone "cheat in homework" by using Wikipedia? Honest question. I always thought that the concerns about using Wikipedia were more related to the lack of sources (or the use of unreliable sources) instead of cheating.

Wikipedia lists sources, you can just cite the source.

It was true though, when I was in high school in the same period we couldn't use wikipedia at all. Also because many articles didn't have sources. It was quite the wild west in it's early stages. We also had teachers that said you have to go to the library. Especially the older teachers were basically against any website or online source. At the time we didn't even know what Google was in our country.
