I edited the 23Things Wiki and found it to be easy to use. I can especially see the usefulness of wikis for internal use in libraries. The Library Success Wiki looked quite useful, especially for someone new in the profession.
Rather than banning a source or format, I think the focus should be on helping students critically analyze the source. I have discussed Wikipedia with my daughter. The reality is that she and her friends use it often. Banning its use won't work. It's better to talk with students about the benefits and risks of using such a source. For example, I think it can be a good place to start research on a topic you know nothing about, but not to use it as the definitive answer.
