Actually, Wikipedia wants secondary sources and not just someone's opinion.

Yes, they are unbearable. They don't read a single book, they ask you for 
quotations and references to the word all over the place. It is their 
weapon of mass destruction after evidence-based. You say that the proofs in 
Metamath are a little too detailed for beginners, they ask you for a quote. 
Why a quote? It's a personal judgment. How a quote, in other words someone 
else's personal judgment, would be more appropriate than mine. And he gives 
you as a counter-example the proofs of Euclid which would also be detailed. 
Is Euclid formal mathematics? Did Euclid do his proofs by exhibiting the 
details of variable replacements? They conceive any article as a commercial 
promotion. You can say that the thing is good, really very good, really 
very very good if you had the audacity to express the slightest reservation 
on a very limited point, they have their heads turned upside down.
