After discovering Wikipedia, it has become my go-to site when I have a query. I was a kid back in 1963 when my parents purchased the World Book Encyclopedia from a door-to-door salesman. I remember the samples he brought in and set about our living room. For years afterward it became my go-to source for information. I would spend hours at a time browsing the volumes of information!

Fast forward forty five years and I discover Wikipedia. Some things don't seem to ever go away. That inquisitive little boy of eight woke up and again for many years I've spent hours at a time browsing and soaking up information. This form of encyclopedia wasn't purchased from a passing salesman, it didn't have to be, it is available for free online. Although it is free to use, as my primary go-to source when I have a query these days I don't have a problem donating that one time each year when they ask for help.

One thing I discovered though, that when I catch a factual error it's better I leave it be. The hoops in place to make a correction, while no doubt necessary, is more a bureaucrat's talent and remains an error. Outside of that, Wikipedia, I'm glad it's here.

p.s. Part of this is an edit and hopefully will remain being that their editing policy may not have been followed, addressing an error or not.
