As for Wikipedia being reliable I found this advice.
"How will you know if a citation is credible?
That’s where judgment comes in. There are too many factors to list here, but a citation is more likely to be legitimate if it comes from an academic source, has statistics to back up its claim, or is a quote directly from a source. Many times you won’t be able to get access to the first-hand material because it’s not widely available online (as in the case of many academic journals) or it’s from a book. In this case, your best bet is getting hold of that work or searching for it online."
