lol yeah well your professors have a vested commercial interest in maintaining
their tenure
and the supremacy and kudos of their own academic institutions when it comes to
being
Guardians of Truth and Knowledge, did you ever consider that...? ;0)

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?
