# Find Sources and References

Wikipedia is not just an encyclopedia -- it is one of the best-curated indexes of primary sources on the internet. Every well-written Wikipedia article cites dozens of books, academic papers, news articles, and official reports. These citations are often more valuable than the Wikipedia text itself, pointing you directly to authoritative sources.

ToolRouter's get_full_article skill retrieves the complete article content including references and citations, while search helps you find the right starting article. By mining Wikipedia's reference sections, you can build comprehensive bibliographies and find primary sources that would take hours to discover through traditional search.

This is essential for academic researchers building literature reviews, journalists sourcing claims, content writers adding credibility to their work, and anyone who needs authoritative references beyond Wikipedia itself. The citation network within Wikipedia is a research shortcut that experienced researchers have used for years.
