Maybe so or maybe no - I have found Wikipedia to be good general background 
but too full of myths and oft-repeated  misunderstandings to be a reliable 
reference source. It is by definition NOT a refereed publication. The 
masthead on the home page says it all.


Welcome to Wikipedia,
the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit.
