Wikipedia's own article on Sisavang Vatthana, the last King of Laos, is a tertiary encyclopedic source, cited here for his birth date and place at the royal palace of Luang Prabang, a detail the existing source on his political history was not confirmed to state directly. Its strength is that it gives a specific, checkable biographical fact. Its limit is the ordinary one for a crowd edited encyclopedia entry: fine for this biographical detail, not a substitute for scholarly history of the Lao monarchy's fall.
