This is Wikipedia's article on Gershom Scholem, the foundational modern academic scholar of Jewish Kabbalah and mysticism. As a perpetually community-edited reference page rather than a peer reviewed publication, it is a reasonable source for standard, uncontroversial biographical facts, his career, dates and major works, but not the source to rely on for a contested or specialist claim about his own scholarly arguments or their reception. Cite it for the ordinary biographical facts it states and consult Scholem's own works or a dedicated academic study of his scholarship for anything more specific.
