No, to be truthful, I was never aware that wikipedia was an org site. I have
always seen it as a com site. However, despite that, my main issue with
wikipedia is that a ton of the information has no sources cited for the
listing(s). It is not like there is a division of personnel ensuring the
accuracy of what people input. In any event, non of my professors accept
wikipedia as a valid source of information due to the incosistency and lack of
cite management.

wikipedia.org is an org site, so you seem to contradict yourself. :-)
Or does "org site" mean something other than a website whose domain name
ends in .org?
