This panel would involve a great debate over the long-argued question as to whether or not Wikipedia is a viable source of information for high-schoolers looking to research something for a paper, project, etc. I know that, as a high-schooler, I occasionally use Wikipedia for research, but out of fear that my information may not be reputable, I always double check it with an actual source of information. Nevertheless, I feel as though Wikipedia should be allowed as a primary source of information for all high school projects, and a great debate panel would help to end this argument once and for all.
