Most are still in the dark ages about Wikipedia not being a reliable source for papers. Even though primary citations are available anyways in all the articles. The funny thing is it's more reliable than the AI slop that will default from kids Google searches now.

There was a time when professors warned students never to cite Wikipedia. Now it has become foundational knowledge for AI systems and a trusted resource for community fact-checkers who use it to make sense of information & settle debates. notetracker.socialmedialab.ca #FactChecking #DigitalLiteracy
