Wikipedia, one of the world's most-visited websites, allows users to edit most articles, making content moderation an ongoing challenge for the platform.

    That’s ridiculous. It’s not allowed because it’s not a primary source of information. It’s a great jumping off point for knowledge and if you need to cite something you can just look through its sources at the bottom of each page.

        Their point is that you don’t understand why you can’t cite any encyclopedia, not just Wikipedia.

        It has nothing to do with the reliability, you just need to cite their source (the primary source) instead of citing the middle man.
