Well, of course Wikipedia should not be the only source used in research. If a report-writer does so, then it is his or her own fault.

  "Until I read the Microsoft-case page, I was ready to declare Wikipedia 
  a clear success. Now I'm not so sure. Yes, that page will improve over 
  time; but new pages will be added. If the present state of Wikipedia is 
  any indication, most of them will be very good; but a few will lead 
  high-school report writers astray."
