Wikipedia vs wiki

I find Wikipedia an excellent "refresher" when I can't remember
dates, but I can't imagine anyone thinking they could use it as a
reference - the articles are all anonymous and can be modified by
anyone. Colleges usually give incoming students a quick course in
writing papers and what sources are acceptable, so I would assume
they would explain why Wikipedia is not.
One excellent thing our wiki does is to record each change, what it
was, who made it, and when.
