Yeah, unfortunately, it's the same problem as the web, writ albeit a tad bit smaller.
In a take-home exam essay, I had several students providing citations from wikipedias. Even worse, after we had discussed in class Microsoft's stance on their errors in Encarta being less important than Encarta's being politically palatable, a few cited Encarta. :-( This is one of the problems of the illusion of quality that computer technologies make possible.
