The piece didn't have too many citations, either,
What do you mean? Every section had links to relevant information, including journal articles and the notably well-sourced Wikipedia.
I was thinking more along the lines of something like this. Is that too high a standard for a Cracked article? Yes, it probably is.
I wasn't counting Wikipedia, but now that I think about it, yes, Wikipedia does count as a reasonably reputable source. Therefore, I will revise my original claim and simply say "I wish there were more citations."
It's Cracked, so it's not exactly the highest scientific authority on the matter, but still a decent read.
