Dunno... so often you see somebody make a case, and next thing you know somebody else challenges the first person to back their case with facts. If the case is controversial in the slightest,
just the OP's word won't get accepted. Quite often, his world will be ridiculed straight away. At that point the OP needs to start sharing links or something or he won't be taken seriously.

Wikipedia is not a primary information source, but quite often you can use it to back your claims because Wikipedia itself is backed by primary sources - however, at that point you are better
off tracking whatever sources Wikipedia is using and linking against them if need be.
