    Yes...let Wikipedia discredit itself.

    And for those that think the most basic info in biographies is "fact"...that's not always the case. I've seen people's basic information change like age & birthplace [[actress Audrey Tautoo has 2 birthdays on her profile right now...don't judge, I just watched The DaVinci Code ). In this very thread, jcole explained that something on Marian Ilitch's Wikipedia [[that she is an owner of the Tigers) is not accurate. So it's not a stretch to think it may have other inaccuracies. It may not be inaccurate too...but since it is not an authoritative source, we cannot be certain. Sorry for harping on this, but I hate when people act like an open-source encyclopedia is really reliable. Granted, it's not horrible, like http://www.conservapedia.com, lol, but still.

    That's okay. I hate when people act like a proprietary encyclopedia is drastically more reliable.

    We're talking about encyclopedias, after all. Not a source of scholarly info.
