Having said that, I've just looked at the original document:

http://www.ofqual.gov.uk/files/2009-12-24-plagiarism-students.pdf

It actually does a pretty good job at giving advice on how to use  
Wikipedia. It's just the Telegraph that chose the choice quote and  
ignored the advice. ;-)

It even mentions the School's Wikipedia.
