Wikipedia often doesn't have context where normal text would, since individual sentences or even words could be edited by different people than other sentences or words.

Sure, multiple authors means that it's more likely to be incoherent or false, but there's still context. Lumifer cut out the context and then complained that about the vagueness that he created.

In fact, the whole sentence comes from the cited source, as I checked before I restored the context.
