Its not hard. Wikipedia is a great source, not of truth but of information. The problem with most in education is not that they distrust Wikipedia but that they put to much trust in more traditional sources. Wikipedia is VERY useful in my experience but you can't just blindly trust it.
Yeah, to me the issue isn't that people distrust Wikipedia, it's that they think it's less trustworthy than .gov or .edu. I forgot where I saw it, but I think I saw something teaching kids how to write, and they said that ".gov" and ".edu" sources are more credible.
The sad thing is--to the extent that you want to appear credible, that's probably correct, coz most people think that way.
But if you want to actually arrive at the truth, I don't automatically consider .gov or .edu more credible than anything else.

Oh, I've heard that from teachers both years ago and recently. Trust .gov or .edu over any .com... its soooo dumb.

Ah yes I remember that.
".com stands for commercial so it's about money so don't trust it!"
