Thanks Miss Sue! Is wikipedia all true? I remember someone telling me that anyone can add stuff there?

Answer 3

You're welcome.

Treat Wikipedia as you would any website. Check its facts with other sources. You can also check out the references used at the end of the article.

In my many years of experience with thousands of Wikipedia articles, I found only one word that should have been deleted (and it soon was). That word was an obvious error and was apparent to the casual reader.
