That’s not really adequate. Wikipedia is neither authoritative nor
accurate, and should not be cited in any dispute, except as opinions of
unnamed people.
Being “basis” for something is rather vague, and in this case quite
misleading, since Unicode and windows-1252 disagree on the assignments
of several code positions.
It is the Unicode Standard that should be cited (as Doug Ewell did) in
matters of Unicode code assignments.
