You Read That Where?

Wikipedia is pretty cool, but it has one flaw: It's not very reliable as a source. Granted you can find some amazing trivia and information on it, but can you really trust it? The pages can be modified by anyone.

I happened across an article by A Very Grumpy Bunny that caught my eye and I tend to agree with Bunny's views. I will admit that Wikipedia is a good place to get you started on tracking down information, but please don't use it as definitive source for accurate answers. Teachers, in my opinion, should not allow Wikipedia to be used as a valid source either. Do a tiny bit more research to verify what facts you find.
