Why don't people bother READING what they quote? I've bolded the parts just for you.
Children shouldn't have access to wikipedia...?
It's a very useful tool to help in research, many times what is listed is properly cited so you can pull the actual source itself then use it in your own reports. If they had wikipedia back when I was in school/college it would have saved hours or more on each research assignment I had to do. Not sure why you don't think it's a good idea to let them have access to wikipedia.
Notice I didn't say citing WIKIPEDIA. I said pulling the actual CITED SOURCE on Wikipedia so you can use THAT source in your own report.
