Yes I agree with that. I think there was an issue with establishing what "source" meant in the given context. I wouldn't say the text of a single wikipedia article is a reliable source by itself, however that doesn't discredit the reliability of accurate information on Wikipedia in my opinion. If you stripped a textbook of it's listed citations and credited authors, then you can't really verify the information in it either.
