You shouldn’t cite Wikipedia because it is not a source of information, it is a summary of other sources which are referenced.

Right, and if an LLM is citing Wikipedia 47.9% of the time, that means that it’s summarizing Wikipedia’s summary.

You shouldn’t cite Wikipedia for the same reason you shouldn’t cite a library’s book report, you should read and cite the book itself.

Exactly my point.
