Hi Hans,
Great site!
Just a comment on the use of Wikipedia: The history dep't has decided that across the board we won't allow students to use Wikipedia for a source for papers and projects because anyone can post to it. Although it is eventually edited, information can be posted before it is verified.
That said, Wikipedia might still be useful to help a student get a general sense of a topic. Another possible use of Wikipedia is not necessarily to conduct research on a topic but as an outlet for already completed research; they could add to or verify content they find on the site.
