The source is the few Wikipedians that have seen the writing. While
the writing is probably reliable, the few Wikipedians are not.
By this reasoning, a source isn't a book, it's the few Wikipedians who
have
read the book.
How exactly is the writing on the wall different from a book? (Sure, not
every Wikipedian can go read the writing, but not every Wikipedian has
access
to a particular book either.)
