My vote would be to allow it's use but not as the only source of information. In order for any research to be accurate you would want to use a number of sources. Training students to use several sources as well as talking about how wikipedia works ( anyone contributes, show history of the page, etc.) makes the most sense to me.

What is accurate? Is any encyclopedia accurate? Check out one topic on several resources and see if they concur. Years ago I did a project with my elementary students. They were to choose an important figure from history and give a very brief report. Two students chose Anne Oakley. Their two different "reliable" encyclopedias had her born on different dates and in different states.
