Wiki and Wikipedia

It is interesting to note that at many learning institutions, Wikis, primarily Wikipedia, are frowned upon in terms of being used as a research tool for students. Many colleges, including the one where I teach, will not permit students to use Wikipedia for research/citations, etc. The "reasoning" is that due to the community/self-editing nature of the site, not all information can be trusted as accurate. Yet this course and others talk of its many benefits with opportunities for learning. I am interested to know what the prevailing thoughts and preferences are. Thank you for your time.
