They is Wikis

The conversation starts like this...

"You know, they say smoking is bad for you."

"Who says that?"

"They do."

"Who's they?"

"You know...  them!"

So we've finally given "them" a voice through Wikis.  The problem is, apparently you can't trust Wikis to be 100% reliable sources of information.  Imagine that!  Schools are finally waking up to this fact and are starting to forbid students to use online Wikis as sources for their work.

The idea of citing Wikis as sources is an interesting concept.  By the time the reader checks the citation to verify the content for themselves, it may have changed.  I haven't used any big Wikis in a while; do they let you specify which version of an entry you took your information from?
