Not to mention a good academic paper has less stringent "reliable" standards than a Wikipedia entry.
No, I don't think it does - or if it does it's not relevant. We will allow sources of varying degrees of reliability as long as overall there are one or two really solid sources for the core premise of the article (because, unlike academic papers, we don't allow original research). But as long as the subject itself is fundamentally supported by good, credible sources, it's not necessary to cite Britannica for every trivial fact.
