personally i’d be careful using wikipedia as a reference…make sure you verify anything you find there somewhere else…while wikipedia calls itself an online encyclopedia the entries can be edited by anyone…from their own site i found the following….

“Anyone can add subtle nonsense or accidental misinformation to articles that can take weeks or even months to be detected and removed.

The very nature of Wikipedia makes it possible for someone to change and/or rearrange an article in any way, resulting in lost information or to the point that the article no longer makes sense.”
