Mozart's Requiem's Wikipedia article is a community-edited encyclopedia entry, covering K. 626, its 1791 anonymous commission from Count Franz von Walsegg, the work's incomplete state at Mozart's death, and Franz Xaver Sussmayr's completion of the score. Its strength is that these are the kind of stable, documentable composition history facts a general reference handles well. Its limit is that a claim about exactly which passages are Mozart's own and which are Sussmayr's remains genuinely disputed among musicologists, and that dispute needs a specialist source, not this general overview.
