message: This page says that King lived in Great Neck for the rest of his life. The article cited says no such thing; King never lived in Great Neck. He lived in Kings Point, which, like Great Neck, is a village in the Town of North Hempstead on Long Island. However, later in the Wiki page he writes "raised funds for the Nassau Center for Emotionally Disturbed Children (near his home in Kings Point, New York). This is why I always fact- check Wiki pages. If someone is not capable of paying attention to detail and/or proofreading their work they should not be writing wiki pages. Sorry, not sorry. BlancheX (talk) 06:16, 15 December 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: , Unfortunately, content not found in a cited source often appears in Wikipedia articles. A few minutes ago I removed content from another article that was not in the cited source; someone added it after the citation and the original accompanying content had been posted. I think it is important to correct errors like that when we find them. Eddie Blick (talk) 02:15, 16 December 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks, Eddie. The is why I have decided to never again read wikipedia articles. Every time I do I find factual errors. I am so tired of cleaning up after others. The unfortunate thing is that when you google something the wiki article is right at the top of the results list or on the first page of results. Most people can't be arsed to go to page two. I was one of those people until I realized that the (very little) extra effort was worth it in order to get correct information. There is absolutely NOTHING in a wiki article that cannot be found elsewhere. I am looking forward to a Wikipedia-free 2023. Sorry, not sorry. BlancheX (talk) 21:24, 25 December 2022 (UTC)
