The good news is that you already have more qualifications than the former Governor.
I personally know several professors who will not accept citing Wikipedia.
You shouldn't cite Wikipedia for the exact same reason that you shouldn't cite Encyclopedia Britannica. Both are tertiary references, and it's preferred to cite the primary or secondary source. If you haven't figured this out by the time you reach college, you need to go back to high school.
There's also a huge difference between "citing Wikipedia" in term papers and "using Wikipedia" in your research. I fully support Professors that ban citing Wikipedia. But I completely support students that want to use Wikipedia as a good starting point to their research on a given topic.

It's also the Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator, you insensitive clod! Both of you should hand in your geek cards immediately!
