From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Don't believe everything you read

As anyone can edit almost any article, it is of course possible for biased, out of date, or incorrect information to be posted to Wikipedia. However, because there are so many other people reading the articles and monitoring contributions using the Recent Changes page, incorrect information is usually corrected quickly.

You are encouraged to help by correcting articles, validating content, and providing useful references.
