I visited Wikipedia, being led there by an article, which listed it as source.

Here is what I found, for example:

QUOTE

Aircraft constructed under foreign license

Heinkel He 111 H (30 examples by Brasov)
Messerschmitt Bf 109G (16 examples by Brasov)
Savoia-Marchetti SM.79JR (16 examples by Brasov)
PZL P.11f (80 examples by IAR)
PZL P.24E (50 examples by IAR)
IAR 36 (Messerschmitt design) (5 examples by IAR)

I see, but what if I quote an original document, found in the archives? Or, better, what if I quote myself?

You have quite a few publications and the publishers under which i saw some of your works published, do qualify as reputable, therefore i wouldn't see why you shouldn't quote yourself.
