last time i cited "EB" was for a paper in the 8th
grade, and that was a long time ago. i would not
permit my children/students to follow that route
today.

although EB is a nice source for pleasurable reading,
for getting an overview on any subject, and to
possibly get a sense of "who's who" in any given
field, personally, i'd be embarrassed to use it -- let
alone cite it -- as a source for ANY reason in a
"presentation and/or a report."

all of this is to say, for me the same would apply to
wikipedia.
