How often do you copy / paste from wikipedia?

There's nothing wrong in copying and pasting from wikipedia and I do it ,too but if you're using it in your school papers, why not try to read the whole articles and then re=phrase it in your own words, just like the way you do in reference books. This will not only broaden your knowledge but also you're sharpening your skills in writing your own paper and who knows someday, your very own article can be added in wikipedia!

It was my best friend when I was a school. Seldom did anybody point out any inaccuracies or inconsistencies. I passed assignments without knowing whet i'd pasted. Thanks Wikipedia! But those days have long passed and I could never get away with it now. And for all those people who hate others for cheating their way through school, don't you worry, it got me nowhere in life haha

i seldom use it for school. some of the facts there are wrong. I have personally seen some conflicting this in wikipedia.
