Listen man, even in the very good college that I went to, everyone starts at Wikipedia and then uses it's sources since if they're good sources then they'll be a helpful jumping off point.
Peer reviewed journal articles are not the lowest effort citation that the CIA could manipulate. Again, the wiki article has numerous sources (which I've read through), do you have any sources to contradict the information that they contain?
You do realize that... The peer review process is not, inherently, robust, right?
There's a reason different publication venues have different levels of prestige. Nature and Science? Very prestigious. The Lancet? Very prestigious. NeurIPS? Very prestigious. The Journal of Genocide Research? Not so prestigious.
Bro it too late to get your money back from that college?
