Worst death ever. That's ok, she was just a superfluous character anyway.

Gokku provided his source for the information. Why not cite his source?

Because Gokku was the primary source leading to the information being included on the page. Gokku's sources would be secondary sources, and anyone who visits the link will see his sources. You aren't obligated to trace the sources of something beyond where you got it from. You never see "Source: Joe Schmoe, whose source was something.com, whose source was Tip Tappers, whose source was original research." When someone has backed up their information by providing sources, you can therefore trust that person/site/body as a source.

Aha. This quest was too easy, my needed item was Dhalmel Saliva and only 18 other people were in the zone. Switched to 90 THF and got it on the third kill. This was easier than 85 > 90.

Actually, you do. Technically it would be most correct to cite Gokku's source as the original source, and then add "Compiled by" or "Additional information provided by" and then add Gokku and this thread. When you cite someone who is also citing a source, you always link back to the original source of the material. It's just courtesy. I doubt anyone will really come in banging heads over it, but it is what it is.

If I go to Wikipedia and use an article as a source in a paper, I cite the wikipedia article as the source. I don't list every reference cited in the wikipedia article. (Not saying that wikipedia makes the best source, it's just an example. The same thing happens when I read a book- I cite that book as the source, not the book's sources)

No one would accept wiki as a source.

Lots of instructors do. Others accept it as long as it isn't your only source. Some instructors consider it to be too unreliable and don't allow it. That's all beside the point though, it's just an example as I said.
