[QUOTE=DaysBefore;35131228]Then use the references that they provide for all credible articles. I don't understand when people say Wikipedia is all bullshit when most articles have links to reputable sites that provided the source information.[/QUOTE]

Meaning: you can use Wikipedia to do research and use its Citations section to find reputable places to cite.

But you still have no reason to cite Wikipedia itself.
