Wikipedia's own article on Turrell V. Wylie, creator of the Wylie transliteration system for Tibetan, is a tertiary encyclopedic source, cited here for his own biography, since the existing source is his own transliteration paper, which does not cover his life. 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 biography, not a substitute for scholarship on Tibetan studies as a field.
