The trouble with Wikepedia is that is entirely written by opinionated people who are more often pedantic than knowledgeable! In the field where "I know what happened" Wikipedia is often so far wrong it would be amusing if people did not actually take it seriously. Mind you some of it is also joking to see if anyone notices! One of my old colleagues was/is guilty of this.
