Hi, Ridleyjr. I see that you are trying to find the best way to find inaccuracies in Wikipedia. I presume you want to fix them!

One way to find things that need fixing is to look at pages that others have "tagged" as needing improvement. For example, these articles have been tagged as of questionable accuracy. These have been tagged as confusing. These ones have a sentence marked as "clarification needed".

The best way to significantly improve problems like this is to find a reliable source that contains the information, and summarize what you find in your own words. By reliable, I mean a book, magazine article, news report, review, etc, in a publication with an editor (not a blog, personal or company website, social media or user-contributed database). It's a good idea also to check the talk page that goes with the article to see if others have been discussing the problem.&mdash;Anne Delong (talk) 23:00, 14 July 2015 (UTC)
