“Rather than complaining about it, why don’t we try to do good things with it.” -- Sean J. Gilsdorf
Its a big world out there. Never stop with only one source.
“The guilty secret of most academics is that they’re using Wikipedia, when they’re telling their students not to.” -- Sean J. Gilsdorf
Faculty members @Harvard pointed out several advantages of Wikipedia’s online format.
“Various Wikis often have more information than academically-sanctioned databases.” -- Sean J. Gilsdorf
“I think the collective encyclopedia is one of the truly thrilling innovations of our time.” -- W. James Simpson

Professors in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences @Harvard said they see Wikipedia as more acceptable, even as a website that students can peruse for somewhat reliable information.
Harvard faculty believes distrust for Wikipedia has been replaced by a realization that the site can be “a good source for certain areas,” including basic scientific data and formulae.
Thanks,
