I thought so. It didn't make sense that you could consult a bibliography
or extensive list of references without citing it.

Interesting.
As to the point about secondary citation, it is standard practice in
classes
that teach about research and writing to cover how to do secondary
citation.
For example look at

(
http://writing2.richmond.edu/writing/wweb/apadocu.html)
The way we should approach citing a reference *through* someone else's
citation is
"so and so as cited in such and such"
It's really a matter of courtesy that we cite *in some way* the actual
source which we actually consulted. Of course that isn't the issue
here. It
would appear, reading-between-the-lines, that exact quotes or
paraphrases were
lifted from the Wikipedia article without either en-quoting, or
acknowledging
the source whatsoever. Or perhaps merely acknowledging it by way of a
simple
bibliography, which really isn't sufficient if you are quoting.
