Yes and NO. Wikipedia is NOT a credible source of information. If would be better to reference a book or a technical webpage. I came to realize when I was putting together some technical wiki pages that book references are the best as are technical websites. I know how to cite sources using various methods via MLA or APA. I don't know if there is a "standards" per say with wikis though. Last Edit: 2010-03-29 23:23:26 by HotshotGG
