I've never met a teacher that thinks Wikipedia is bogus.
Same here.. Maybe it's because I'm still in high school and they're not as strict as in a university?
Anyways, I always start with Wikipedia, when I want to look up information for school... 😛

Polite bump.
Wikipedia is my soulmate. blush 😳 Can't live without it.
Together with my mistress - Google - I don't need anything else!
Though it would be wise not to cite Wikipedia when you're doing homework. 🤣 However the sources that are on there can prove to be useful, and Wikipedia is a great starting point in researching something. There's no denying that.

Wikipedia is supposed to be used for reference only, lol and one of my favorite for deriving formulas...and of course my teacher won't trust Wikipedia completely, but they will if i try to convince them.

The english/media department in my school hate Wikipedia. They don't trust it, as anyone can edit it. They tell their students not to use it (I'm no english/media student, so this is what I've been told by my friends 🤣 )
I however, use wikipedia to my hearts consent XD Yes, I know that their information must be taken with a pinch of salt, but it's where I start my research, then proceed from there, and going to other websites and seeing the same information as wikipedia hosts, allows me to see that it's def. true. I also know that everyone else uses wikipedia, so if I want my research to be a bit unique, I have to be able to find other sources as well 🤣
