@alex @matrix Throughout my school time I was always told that you can't cite any encyclopedia because its function is to summarize and link to other things. You were supposed to read the primary source you found in the encyclopedia and cite the primary source.
Same for old Britannica as for Wikipedia.
Good luck arguing with school administration about whether or not a "Journal of Social Justice" is a "scholarly" source.
@matrix I was always encouraged to look at the sources Wikipedia uses.
Then again, most of lower high school was a blur
@WhiteTemplar Yes, it is
@matrix Still better than Brittanica
