Hi all
Just a polite comment, not directed at anyone:

Please realize that Wikipedia is not a reliable source of info. Some of the articles are written by knowledgeable people and some exhibit definite bias and agenda. There is no consistent oversight; the system is self policing and many articles filled with errors are not corrected because the people who know the facts don't read those articles, or if they do, they don't take them seriously enough to try to get them fixed. 

Personally, I make a special effort to find the best information. Sometimes this takes many hours and yields almost nothing. Wikipedia is great for getting quick information on a variety of subjects, but I would never trust the info found there without some fact checking. We may live in the information age; but way too much of it is misinformation. The choice is yours: bee informed or bee misinformed. 

Pete
