Wikipedia's own article on Wang Bi, the Wei dynasty philosopher and influential Yijing commentator, is a tertiary encyclopedic source. Its strength is that it reliably records his standard biographical facts. Its limit is the ordinary one for a crowd edited encyclopedia entry: fine for uncontroversial biography, not a substitute for specialist scholarship on his own philosophical commentary.
