Don't use Wikipedia as source

[Julie Quetel]

Wikipedia, like ALL sites and sources, should be evaluated as to 
source, context, editorial process etc. I probably wouldn't cite 
it as an authoritative source but it serves as an excellent 
source of possible ways to expand a search on a topic I may or 
may not be familiar with, particularly as an inexperienced 
searcher. As a teaching tool it also provokes discussion on 
critical evaluation of internet sources.

(First post to this list, feedback on whether this was properly 
addressed etc welcome)
