The fact of the matter is, Wikipedia is getting progressively LESS reliable, as a University of Minnesota study found, and as the recent study of the 100 articles related to the U.S. senators -- wrong 6.8% of the time, during the fourth quarter of 2007. Sorry to see you've fallen so fully under the spell of Wikipedia and/or Wales. Neither has a reliable track record for accuracy and ethics.
