How do people approach teaching students how to cite an internet source? If one is citing an on-line article with an authors and date, I don't think there is much of a problem, however how does one deal with wikipedia?
My thinking is that wikipedia shouldn't be cited at all as it cannot be considered a reputable source, _but_ as many wikipedia entries do have citations, perhaps one could "cite a wikipedia citation"? That is, can a student give the source for a piece of information that the wikipedia article has, but somehow indicate that this citation was found on wikipedia and the student has not yet look at the cited material first hand? And if people are doing such a thing, is there a convention for doing the citation? How do people deal with such issues?
