I guess, to OP, to have people citing wiki as why they are correct and OP is wrong? Honestly, what's up with people?

To have a scientific paper published, the source list need be as long as the paper for credibility.

Credibility. ..there's the word. How credible is the wiki page being used?

I'd probably pull it, on my phone, at that point. Verify references and nod in agreement or make room for intellectual discussion. ��

Quoting wiki as a source is just plain a bad idea. If wiki has reliable information the reason it's relliable is from the cited sources so, if that's the case the original source is what should be quoted, not wiki. Just my thoughts
Thanks for this!
