Wiki still links to other sources, so it's not exactly redundant.

Well duh... I never use Wikipedia as a credible source. (Goes on to change the American Revolution page and changes Paul Revere's name to Fuzzy Lumpkins)

Wikipedia gets its information from sources, so techniclly you just need to click all the sources.

You do know they have all the sources for the material for wikipedia....At the bottom of the page.:?
Wikipedia actually needs a source for it to say on the page.

I agree with the policy.  The information on Wiki comes from somewhere else, so you should be citing those places.

That's a bummer. Now they expect us to look in dusty old encyclopedias that are dated? That stinks.

I hope my professor graded my essay on Piaget before reading that. I only used Wiki for a brief biography on him and I listed it in my bibliography. I got all my information from the book we use for the class.

Doesn't affect me. Never used Wikipedia as my source.
