Wikipedia is not verified, fact checked, or guaranteed to be true.
Honest!
From Wikipedia:
“It is in the nature of an ever-changing work like Wikipedia that, while some articles are of the highest quality of scholarship, others are admittedly complete rubbish. We are fully aware of this.”
With Wikipedia, anyone can change any page. Are these changes fact or opinion? Are authors the expert on their topics? Some are...and many are not.
Wikipedia is great for casual research, and excels at pop culture information. (The Anime page is comprehensive and packed with verifiable links and references.) But with academic research, you want information to be correct and written by experts, not by enthusiastic volunteers.

You must go beyond Wikipedia for good research. Check out a book, or find an article in Academic Search Complete.
