I would even suggest reading the wikipedia article as a good place to start. It gives you an overview of the topic, lets you formulate questions you might have and want to research into (note them down), and then start with their sources but don't feel constrained by them.

Also, think about checking the Talk Page. If there are issues with the current page (downplaying something, some important missing stuff), somebody before probably noticed it.
In particular, that's the way you can request an edit on a protected page if you notice a glaring source issue. No need to register, your public IP is a good enough identifer to use the talk page.

Same. Like I’m a sociology major doing online classes meaning no professor to really explain the work. Alot of theories, especially when it crosses over with philosophy, I immediately go DIRECTLY to wiki or non academic sources and read it so I can go ‘oh okay, now I got what Weber meant when he said that’ and then I go to the academic papers and sources now that I understand what they’re talking about.
