For a short while when I was starting to get my degree, I attended the ITT … yeah, that one. Even a disreputable institution like that won’t accept Wikipedia as a valid citation. (Or at least non of the instructors I had would do so.) I do remember having to explain to some of the other students why it wasn’t considered a credible source, but then again I had to do that at a state college too.

Academics could write articles based on peer reviewed research. Wikipedia articles often quote some someone’s personal opinion that most experts agree with their theory.
