Should I trust Wikipedia? Maybe, maybe not. Remember that anyone can put something on Wikipedia, and anyone can change what is there. If you can find the information from a trusted place that supports what is on Wikipedia, it's okay to use it. But then you might as well use the information from the trusted place!!! The Sun
