Correct or not, this is why sources are cited and URLS given.

Good reply. A cited Wikipedia entry gives us a place to start. An
uncited entry is just rumor. (Sometimes that's all we have - "I read
an article in my local newspaper last summer..."). But with a
citation, we can much better evaluate. If it's Wikipedia, we can
even upgrade the quality of the source, should we have a better
source.
