Submission + - Wikipedia Banned at College
Zatoichi007 writes: "The NYT is reporting that Wikipedia is now being banned as a source for research at Middlebury College.
It seems that the last straw for the college occured when students in a Japanese history class
wrongly asserted that the Jesuits aided in the Shambara Rebellion, using Wikipedia as the reference point.
Is Wikipedia a valid source for "serious" research or just a starting point to find out what might be interesting about a particular topic?"
