Always learnt when I was studying history to double check the facts.

I tell my students every time they have to do research to not use Wikipedia, and if they go there because they cannot (refuse to) find another source, drill down to the bottom for the primary sources and check them out. Anybody researching for any reason to use facts to make a valid, emphasize valid, point, should not use Wikipedia. In other words, "Right!"L.
