Nope. You can't cite encyclopedias. Just accept the guaranteed C and move on.

You can cite encyclopedias, but I wouldn't place wikipedia as one.

Since when? Every paper I wrote in college stated that encyclopedias were not countable as sources.
I've never cited them in college, but I don't seem to recall them being taboo in high school. Though back then encyclopedias were in printed form.Originally posted by: Farang

Encyclopaedias are not scholarly sources. If you are in high school, in a lower level college course, or your professor is unfamiliar with source standards, then you may get away with citing them.
