Wikipedia: Fact of Fiction part1

In my opinion I believe Wikipedia is a valuable source to a certain extent. If I was researching something about Jefferson Thomas then I would use Wikipedia, but if i researched something about the color of Jefferson Thomas hair then I would have to research somewhere else. When I am searching for a certain topic, wikipedia sometimes help me and sometimes not. I think it's good to use wikipedia for research in my classes just as long as I don't copy word for word.
