| This is a Wikipedia-free zone. The reason that Wikipedia is not acceptable is that anyone can write an entry that has not been peer-reviewed, verified or even checked for accuracy. Colleges and universities will not accept Wikipedia as a resource and will fail a student for using it in some cases. Most K-12 schools have followed suit and will not allow Wikipedia as a resource in a project. |  |
