I believe that most schools won't except reports that reference Wiki as an information source.

Its the lazy man's version of Britanica.
And yet, I probably spend more time ensuring the accuracy of my work there than many in the mainstream media do. But yeah, you're an idiot if you don't take the time to evaluate the sources given.

Same goes for anything else. If it is written by Bruce Dowbiggin, I disregard it immediately because in my view, the reliability is lacking. Misinformation has always existed, and always will exist. In most cases, it survives only due to the gullibility of the reader.
