A few days ago, I mentioned this article, Miller, J. C., & Murray, H. B. (2010). Wikipedia in
court: When and how citing Wikipedia and other consensus websites is
appropriate. St. John’s Law Review, 84(2), 633–656. It is an article by two lawyers about how Wikipedia was used by lawyers and judges (at least as of 2010). But their conclusion is relevant to anyone writing papers and otherwise looking up information, "Understanding when and how to cite Wikipedia is important because misuse can undermine confidence in the author."
It is absolutely worth a read. It is available here.
