Wikipedia's article on Richard Wilhelm, the German sinologist and translator of the I Ching, is a community edited reference page rather than a peer reviewed publication. Its value is Wikipedia's open editing and citation process, reliable for standard biographical facts such as dates, missionary career and translation history, and less reliable for any specialist or contested claim about his sinological interpretations. Use it for Wilhelm's basic biography; a claim about the substance or accuracy of his translations needs a dedicated sinological source.
