If       the case is controversial in the slightest,       just the OP's word won't get accepted. Quite often, his world will be       ridiculed straight away. At that point the OP needs to start sharing links or       something or he won't be taken seriously.              Wikipedia is not a primary information source, but quite often you can use it       to back your claims because Wikipedia itself is backed by primary sources -       however, at that point you are better       off tracking whatever sources Wikipedia is using and linking against them if       need be.              --       gopher://gopher.richardfalken.com/1/richardfalken       --- SBBSecho 3.15-Linux        * Origin: Palantir * palantirbbs.ddns.net * Pensacola, FL * (1:123/115)       SEEN-BY: 1/120 123 15/0 18/0 200 50/109 90/1 105/81 106/201 114/705       SEEN-BY: 116/116 120/340 123/0 25 115 120 126 131 180 200 755 129/305       SEEN-BY: 129/330 331 135/300 153/250 757 7715 154/10 218/700 840 220/70       SEEN-BY: 221/1 6 222/2 226/17 30 100 227/114 229/110 111 206 317 400       SEEN-BY: 229/424 426 428 452 470 550 664 700 240/1120 250/1 5 8 266/512       SEEN-BY: 267/800 275/1000 280/464 282/1038 298/25 299/6 300/4 301/1       SEEN-BY: 301/113 305/3 317/3 320/219 322/757 335/364 341/66 342/200       SEEN-BY: 396/45 460/58 467/888 633/280 712/848 1321 770/1 3634/0 12       SEEN-BY: 3634/15 24 27 50 119 4500/1 5001/100 5005/49 5019/40 5020/715       SEEN-BY: 5020/1042 4441 5054/8 5058/104 5064/56 5083/444 5090/958       PATH: 123/115 3634/12 5020/1042 301/1 221/6 218/840 770/1 317/3       PATH: 229/426           |
