Wouldn't that be the way to go anyway? I'm assuming most schools wouldn't accept Wikipedia as a legitimate source.


Wikipedia can be a good source if used correctly. If the article is well-sourced and you can check the citations, then it is a reliable article.

Really? Try Mediafire. Upload and download rate is relatively fast if you have decent internet and I have few files that are 1-2 years old and still not deleted :D.

For sure, but as I understand it most educators still aren't that high up on it as a reference, even if an article does satisfy their standards for accuracy and citations.

Anyway, Wikipedia is an OPEN SOURCE site, which everyone can write, edit freely. They must use other resources. My teachers at school are extremely strict against Wikipedia.

If you can't work out how to find the sources the Wikipedia page used, and cite them instead, you deserve whatever horrible mark you get.
