Unfortunately, the wikipedia is a poor substitute for even a high school history teacher.
Peace be with you
It's never seemed to stop you guys from using it yourselves many times. It's subjective.
But, rather than denigrate a source because you may not like what it says, one thing that Wikipedia does is post ALL its source material right there at the bottom of the page, usually with hypertext links built right in so you can go to them and check the footnotes for yourself. Of course, had one gone to the actual link, one would have seen that and might not have made such a poor excuse for NOT reading the material. Too bad. Here's the link again so anyone can check if I am right: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renaissance
