I often hear both the pros and cons of using Wikipedia, and I have to tell you that I lean toward the pros. Wikipedia can be an excellent source, providing you've instructed your students to use the linking that it provides, and then use the Wikipedia articles as ONE of SEVERAL resources in their projects.
Today, I've found a new site called WikiMindMap that enables you to mindmap using Wikipedia. This is really terrific! Take a look:

If you change my topic, Social_network, to a different topic, it will give you an idea as to how this works!
