Lesson
Professional fact-checkers read laterally. They leave the page almost immediately and open new tabs to learn who is behind a source and what others say about it. Staying on the page lets the page frame its own credibility.
Encyclopedia wikis are useful pointers to primary sources. Follow the footnote to the record; do not cite the wiki itself.
