"Don't use Wikipedia as a source!"

Instead of completely ignoring your teacher and taking a blow to your grade, take the sources listen in the source section of the Wikipedia. You can usually find the link directly after the bit of information you're using, as a little number. Click the number and it will give you a source. Of course, make sure the source if valid and credible (up to date, no broken links, from a secure site, author has the proper credentials, etc).
