Here's something else from Wikipedia. Remember litmus paper?

"The main use of litmus is to test whether a solution is acidic or basic.
Wet
litmus paper can also be used to test water-soluble gases; the gas

in the water and the resulting solution colors the litmus paper. For
instance,
ammonia gas, which is alkaline, colors the red litmus paper blue."

Well you are allowed to trot out all the low grade references you wish. Do
better fact checking and you will find out that ammonia is indeed a weak
acid. See also Lewis acid e. g. BF3 which has no hydrogen at all.

To call Wikipedia a low-grade reference is a cheap shot. As for fact-checking,
do some yourself.
