"Peer-reviewed" article cites wikipedia?

This supposed peer-reviewed article published in AMAMIHE: Journal of Applied Philosophy, uses a link to wikipedia. Should I trust it?

I already used it in my annotated bibliography and a large part of the structure of my essay depends on it. I could find another article obviously, but it would be a lot more convenient to use this one. Should I just find a new one?

Edit: I decided to use another one just to be safe but for future reference based on the context could we assume its just not a great source to use in academic papers? it is referenced here "According to Gettier it is possible to make a mistake as

knowledge a true belief whose justification is based on epistemic guess or luck

rather than sufficient reasons or good evidence. He maintained that if justified

true belief analysis is to rule out all possible cases of epistemic luck, it needs to

be modified with a forth condition (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gettier

problem). In essence, Gettier was of the view that, justified true belief alone is

not capable in its sufficiency for accounting for our knowledge claims hence

our justification for believing a particular thing might be false as such cannot be

regarded as the case of knowledge."

Is it used as a source or as an example?
