Wikipedia and the New Curriculum

The article Wilkipedia and the New Curriculum talks about how Wilkipedia is not always factual. I agree that it is not always a good source to use, when comes to getting the best information. However, many of our students use it faithfully to do research. I don't have a problem with students using this as a source, but I do have a problem with students using it as their main source of information. The misinformation can be damaging for students if they don't do their research. Accuracy is very important when students do research. Allowing anyone to edit can turn into a big problem. Should Wilkipedia be banned? I don't think it should be banned, but I think students need to understand that all the information on Wilkipedia may or may not be true. Anyone can use Wilkipedia to post information and that information may be false. However, Wilkipedia can be used as another added resource for students.
