Re: Is quoting the wikipedia acceptable in intelligent debate?
In debates, sources such as the dictionary are used to set the terms of reference, but after that the argument must be made with more specific research and facts. If your sole source of intellectual content (or even a main one) was Wiki, your argument would be easy prey to more dedicated research.
