Nope, we all misunderstood what they meant. Wikipedia is not an authoritative source, it is a derivative work. However, you can use the sources provided by the Wikipedia article and use the article itself to understand the topic.

Wikipedia isn't and was never a primary source of information, and that is by design. You don't declare information in encyclopedias, you inventory information.

"Nope" to what exactly? you regurgitated what I said - but told us how you misunderstood it
