Wales is a liar. Wikipedia is banned in all South African newsrooms, and the same applies in Canada.
As regards WP sourcing from "good-quality academic journals", that's a joke, considering his comments are quoted from a journal -- Foreign Policy -- that is unashamedly devoted to "promoting American interests in the Middle East." Nothing impartial about that.
