Why are schools so triggered by Wikipedia?
>searching for information on my topic
>only source that is straightforward with ample information is Wikipedia
>professor gets triggered
>tell her the article literally has ~150 citations
>tell her the citations are from trustworthy news sources such as BBC, CNN, federal agencies, etc.
>"Hah but anywun cann edurt it lel xd"
This fucking pisses me off so much.
>schools
You mean American* schools. Your education system is piss poor laughable along with every one of your teachers.

School at all levels is active babysitting
Just cite the sources at the bottom you fucking freshman
for a lot of articles though someone could go through and delete all that and make it impossible for people to see what you referenced
Why don't you just cite the sources instead of Wikipedia? That's what I always did. It's not fucking rocket science.

They don't trust students to be smart enough to reference those citations, so it's easier to tell them don't use it at all and show them how to gather info independently rather than explain how to find Wikipedia-listed sources.
If you know you're competent enough to cite the sources at the bottom then do it, but don't say you got it from Wikipedia, say you got it from the source provided. The average professor will assume you copied and paraphrased straight from Wiki and the average layman won't understand that there are sources at the bottom
>tl;dr don't tell people you got your info from Wikipedia. Just list the source at the bottom like everybody else does.
