Wikipedia claims it is an unreliable source 

From Wikipedia's WP:RS:

Primary, secondary, and tertiary sources
 
Main page: Wikipedia:No original research#Primary, secondary and tertiary sources
 
Wikipedia articles should be based mainly on reliable secondary sources.
 
Tertiary sources such as compendia, encyclopedias, textbooks, obituaries, and other summarizing sources may be used to give overviews or summaries, but should not be used in place of secondary sources for detailed discussion. Although Wikipedia articles are tertiary sources, Wikipedia employs no systematic mechanism for fact checking or accuracy. Because Wikipedia forbids original research, there is nothing reliable in it that isn't citable with something else.Thus Wikipedia articles (or Wikipedia mirrors) are not reliable sources for any purpose.

I thought the above was a misread, the first time I read it. However, it supports why College Professors and teachers discourage using Wikipedia for academic research. It also means that editors, administrators and others involved with creating articles, are in fact, wasting thier time. 

The only person who can gain from Wikipedia, is the fuck-head, money beggar, Jimbo Wales. So all of you who want to edit war, keep it up, you're wasting your fucking time, for nothing. After doing a scan of the Whitman article, since the inclusion and copying of Lavergne's book and other sources, the article is only about 20% accurate. And yes, I am John Moore, who was Houston McCoy's power of attorney, who helped him until Wikipedia came between us when I tried to correct information - a long time ago, and his daughter got involved and help fuel the flames that could have been put out with a reasonable conclusion, if the above info would have been known at the time. But Whitman was my research subject, I helped McCoy because he needed it, he in turn lied to me on several occasions, but I can forgive him for that, at least he had a forgivable condition. Jimbo Wales and Wikipedia, are a sickness unto themselves.

So Pinkafuckup and YGLEE and other IP's who know nothing, have an admin ban me, PLEASE! It won't be necessary, but then, your edit wars were not necessary either. Keep on being the knee pads that Jimbo Smells wants - you deserve!!!2001:558:6007:27:7992:7DA3:D702:EE6A
