Maybe in 2005, but in 2025, Wikipedia is more reliably accurate than many more-official-sounding sources.

I mean Wikipedia is referenced and well sourced so it is a perfectly valid source in this day and age. I read papers weekly and they are full of more lies or dishonesty than Wikipedia nowadays where there is a desire to publish often.
