At school, we will not accept Wikipedia as a reference on any subject. I don't know of any credible institution that does.

I used answers.com to help me with a Geography topic proposal on urban sustainability. Apparently I got the definitions of both "urban" and "sustainability" wrong, and this brought my mark down. Then when I used practically the same definition from an online journal article, my definitions were accepted. Frustrating and strange. Answers.com is a good reference. Wikipedia is not quite as good because it can be edited.
