If the first case is the one I think it is she was reprimanded for doing so (in any case the she didn't take the stuff directly from wikipedia but one of our mirrors). Again they were looking for information. If wikipedia tried to campaign to change fair use law it is safe to assume it will not be cited in the area of copyright law.
Furthermore if you look at threads on partisan forums people basically say while they will use wikipedia they are careful not to let it impact their biases.
