Topics that are not controversial, like oranges, or volcanoes are usually fine.
Topics like the president or major leader of WWII are often the source of ideological battles back and forth so they are frequently less reliable. Mike Bunkermeister Creek

Reminds me that it was a few years ago, when the guy behind Khurasan Miniatures arranged for both the TMP and TooFatLardies listings to be removed from Wikipedia. Claimed they weren't notable enough, but actually he had a long-standing hatred of TFL products. |

I use Wikipedia when I'm looking for generic information. I do not treat it as accurate in any detail, and I would NEVER use it as a source to make my argument for me. |
