wikipedia entries are adopted by the site after people submit them. It is a very poor reference site for individuals.

Just a couple years ago some guy from India made a submission for Thomas Jefferson. An alleged quote that never happened. “Dissent is the highest form of patriotism.” That was quoted by John Kerry as authored by Thomas Jefferson and it raced around the internet. They cited wikipedia as reference and the source of the quote there was an Indian male. It was since proven bogus and removed from the net. Chinu used it in the header of one of his threads. Finally he removed it.

The point being, don't believe anything about people that you read in wikipedia. Always get a real source.
