    Not at all. I’m responding to OP, and while my comment is informative and sourced so that other people can understand it too, I do not care at all that my in-kind response turns some people off.

      Thanks, trusting wikipedia because it has a “source”(, as if a source meant the truth 🙄,) is super weird, and i’ll also add that a lot of sources are inaccessible anyway, such as those pointing to books. Wikipedia will hopefully(, in part because it’s always a mistake to pretend knowing “the one truth”,) be replaced one day, it’s long overdue.

        The inaccessibility of many wiki sources is a very good point, thanks.

        I think Wikipedia serves its purpose as a broad strokes indicator of things that are likely significant in some way, but its limitations are as important as its content.
