Why cite Wikipedia pages as additional reading?
Many modules cite Wikipedia entries as sources of
additional information. Wikipedia represents both the
best and worst that the Internet has to offer. Most
authors of traditional textbooks would agree that
citing Wikipedia pages as primary sources is a bad
idea, since quality is variable and content is subject to
change over time. On the other hand, many Wikipedia
pages are excellent, and serve as useful sources of
relevant information that is not strictly within the
scope of the curriculum. Furthermore, students
benefit from seeing the same material presented
differently, in a broader context, and with additional
references cited by Wikipedia pages. We trust
instructors and students to realize the potential pitfalls
of this type of resource and to be alert for problems.
