Wikipedia's own article on Daryl Bem, the social psychologist whose 2011 precognition study became a flashpoint in psychology's replication crisis, is a tertiary encyclopedic source. Its strength is that it reliably records his standard biographical and career facts. Its limit is the ordinary one for a crowd edited encyclopedia entry: fine for uncontroversial biography, not a substitute for the peer reviewed literature on his study and its failed replications.

Assessment
Reliability Tier3
Reliability tier 3: a Wikipedia entry, written and revised by unnamed volunteer editors, suited to uncontroversial standard biographical fact rather than to the peer reviewed literature on his own study. NotesWikipedia's article on Daryl Bem. A perpetually community-edited reference page rather than a peer-reviewed publication; use for standard, uncontroversial facts about Daryl Bem (biographical detail, dates, common definitions), not as the source for a contested or specialist scholarly claim.
