Thumbs up Great site

I use it from time to time and find the information accurate and valuable most often. I’ve never had any problems with the site nor the info. And if you’re looking for info would Wikipedia lie to you ~ never. I have been lied to for about 7 years now but it wasn’t this site.

I use it all the time. It's one of my Favorites actually, located right under this forum.

The info is usually correct. Much of it is cited and when it's not, you can usually tell. It's a terrific quick reference guide.

I have found some minor inaccuracies, mainly with dates, so I can't say the information on the site is 100% accurate.

From what I understood, the information on Wikipedia is provided by [ahem] average, and very knowledgeable people like us, isn't that so?
