You can always go back to the published account and date it was published. It is not 100% accurate but neither is any encyclopedia which send out updated annuals to correct old information. It is as reliable as any encyclopedia I have found, and If there is questionable material, it can be verified with further investigation. Just Google it. Isn't our new technology grand? So, for those of you who say how easy it is to change Wikipedia at the drop of a hat, this story is for you.
