Sorry, Carp.

Anyone can post almost anything on Wikipedia, whether it’s true, or not.

Not long ago, malicious disinformation about Freepers and Free Republic was posted on Wikipedia. The false information was eventually removed. Wikipedia usually presents accurate scientific information, but politically, occasionally someone has an agenda.

“Anyone can post almost anything on Wikipedia, whether it’s true, or not.”

True, but Wiki has sources and the two sources for the claims are given and I have seen them elsewhere.

When assessing claims regarding records I always ask “Is the claim verifiable? Is there a custodian of the document that can be subpoenaed and if they were would their testimony meet the Federal Rules of Evidence (FRE)?

In this case, the answer is yes for both Stanley Ann’s record in the HI transcript archive and for the Anthropology Dept. archive.
