When researching a subject or citing a source for others to check the validity of your work- refrain from using Wikipedia. It's understandable that when you type something into a search engine, Wikipedia is in the top finds. However, take the time to scroll down and search for .net .edu .gov .mil because these sites will be more factual. Sites with those domains tend to review the work published there and check creditionals of those publishing. Anyone can claim to be someone on wikipeia and it go unchecked. If you still find yourself too lazy to look for a better source of information and you wind up on a wiki page- scroll down to the sources provided at the end of each wiki article and look into those. Why waste your time learning something that may be false? Better the quality of your knowledge and work by using better sources.
