I don't know which is worse, actually using wikipedia as a source or hiding the fact that you copied entire passages from wikipedia. Involving wikipedia in any publication that hopes to be respectable is a travesty. But I suspect this sort of thing is even more widespread than people think. In fact, I know it is. About ten years ago, I was given a book to go through and look over prior to publication. It was intended for an academic press--not one in the US, I had better make clear. Anyway, the contributors were all from a highly respected (in its own country) non-US/European university. Passages made no sense whatsoever. So I googled a few sentences and clauses to try and look up the subject so that I could at least understand it better. Every single fragment I googled came from wikipedia. Every contributor had done nothing but cut and paste haphazardly. Our elites are inauthentic fakers to the core.
