Would you put more faith in it if I could find a Wikipedia article on

Well, first of all, if you did provide such EVIDENCE (_real_ evidence, not
flatulent opinions ..especially opinions using selective data), I'd no
longer have to take it on "faith", right. So right there your credibility
is
a bit stunted as you don't apparently comprehend what constitutes a proper
epistemology or method.

Secondly, I've seen stuff on Wikipedia (an open encyclopedia) that was
dubious. Noam Chomsky comes to mind.

Thirdly, well, I guess you are just an example of the former. :~)

Addendum:

You still haven't addressed that many Urban Legends are lame attempts at
humor.
