"Don't use Wikipedia" doesn't mean ignore it's existence. It means do not consider a reference in a Wiki article a valid citation. Follow the reference up and validate that it is real and says what the article says it says. Research can start with an encyclopedia, but not end there.

Yeah, the best thing about Wikipedia is that it demands primary and secondary sources. It’s a gateway, not an endpoint.
