We (in my old project), often joked with one another regarding Wikipedia, and were constantly amazed at how often people take what they find on the web as gospel (no disrespect intended).
Anyway, I have already conceded defeat given that I cannot locate the research I wanted.

As a Wikipedia advocate I take this combination of statements to be highly ironic.
If you find something inaccurate in Wikipedia, don't laugh at it, correct it. It's thought to be as accurate as
Brittanica, but continuously self-updating and free. I laugh (and cry) at the scientific journals that don't publish on the web. What are they afraid of? Wikipedia is what happens when money is less important than getting information out.
