NSK stated for the record:

> I once saw a professor visiting a Wikipedia article on maths found from a

> professor has advised us never to cite material not hosted on .edu or .ac.uk 
> or other educational domains.
> 
> If Wikipedia does not change its attitudes, it will eventually die from brain 
> drain: New, more expertise-friendly and intellectual wikis will emerge and 
> WP's knowledgeable users will just immigrate there.
