Wikipedia is basically leftist. No point trying to fix their entry on FR, because it will just go bad again.

Actually, I find Wiki very useful on most things, as long as there’s not a political issue. You can even look up facts about politicians—names of wives and children, for instance, or dates of service. But you can’t trust the politics, EVER.

it’s not bad with most older history ww2 and earlier though i suspect the crusades pages are skewed. even a lot of the modern military stuff is good or at least a starting point. i don’t wast my time with the politics.

What is it, in particular, that needs fixing in that article? I read it and it seemed to be generally right on. Perhaps you have seen a detail or two that is wrong. If so, then I would like to know what that is.

AND THEN - it should be easy enough to document the mistaken info, and actually correct it yourself, on the Wikipedia entry. All you would need is the supporting documentation to correct it.

Exactly. It is good to look for party affiliation, dates of offices held and such, but that is it.
