I'm sorry but again I don't know what you're referring to
You said that you stopped reading the Wikipedia entry when you came to the liability notice that every reference has.
"Okay, I wasn't sure which of us you were referring to so, I looked
and stopped reading after this:
WIKIPEDIA MAKES NO GUARANTEE OF VALIDITY"
Had you have continued reading you would have found this list of if the contributors to this entry in Wikipedia.
Just because Wikipedia is free does not mean that it is not one of the best reference sources on a given subject that is available.
Wikipedia has its trolls who in addition to claiming it is worthless, take great delight in finding errors in the Wiki. When these errors are brought to light, and if confirmed, they are removed. This is a system for self-correction that no other reference system I know of has.
Here are the footnotes that you did not read:
