Mirror Wikipedia Content Reliable Sources Circular Reference

Do not use Wikipedia or derivative websites as sources for academic work since their content is not considered reliable unless cited sources support it. If discussing Wikipedia, you can cite it to support statements about Wikipedia itself, but avoid original research, bias, or inappropriate self-reference. Clearly indicate any content sourced from Wikipedia so readers know of potential bias.

Do not use articles from Wikipedia as sources.

Also, do not use websites that mirror


Wikipedia content or publications that rely on material from Wikipedia as sources. Content
from a Wikipedia article is not considered reliable unless it is backed up by citing reliable
sources. Confirm that these sources support the content, then use them directly. (There is also
a risk of circular reference when using a Wikipedia article or derivative work as a source.)
An exception is allowed when Wikipedia is being discussed in the article, which may cite an
article, guideline, discussion, statistic or other content from Wikipedia or a sister project to
support a statement about Wikipedia. Wikipedia or the sister project is a primary source in
this case, and may be used following the policy for primary sources. Any such use should
avoid original research, undue emphasis on Wikipedia's role or views, and inappropriate selfreference. The article text should make it clear that the material is sourced from Wikipedia so
the reader is made aware of the potential bias.
