But you can't edit the peer reviewed papers...If you want to check the validity of a claim, go check the paper. 

I cannot make this simpler for you. You are just being pedantic & lazy. If you want to check the statement that "bats shoot lazer beams (source)" then go read that source. The issue was that your education was so grossly lacking on the topic that the easiest way for you to learn the necessary information would have been to read the correctly referenced wiki page. It would have taken you months to read through all the papers from cover to cover if you insist on just papers. 


That's my point. Cite the paper, not the wikipedia entry. Wikipedia entries are modifiable which means the content isn't reliable. You sir, are the lazy one.
