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
