You're welcome. I never know what I'm going to look up and learn each day. The posts go in many different directions.

Even though Wiki has had some accuracy issues, I find it very informative and interesting. But, remember when you use factual information, you have a tendency to shut down good blather.

blath·er
ˈblaT͟Hər/Submit
verb
1.
talk long-windedly without making very much sense.
"she began blathering on about spirituality and life after death"
synonyms: prattle, babble, chatter, twitter, prate, go on, run on, rattle on, yap, jabber, maunder, ramble, burble, drivel, blabber, gab; More
noun
1.
long-winded talk with no real substance.

The blather is funny at times. I don't think it will stop altogether.

As for Wikipedia being reliable I found this advice.


"How will you know if a citation is credible?

That’s where judgment comes in. There are too many factors to list here, but a citation is more likely to be legitimate if it comes from an academic source, has statistics to back up its claim, or is a quote directly from a source. Many times you won’t be able to get access to the first-hand material because it’s not widely available online (as in the case of many academic journals) or it’s from a book. In this case, your best bet is getting hold of that work or searching for it online."
