I want to remind you that Wikipedia is not a reliable source. So if you need reliable information about something, you should look elsewhere. Anyone can edit Wikipedia, and that is both a strength and a weakness. There are ways to protect specific articles from vandalism, but I don't know how to start that process. Perhaps someone else can point you in the right direction. SemanticMantis (talk) 21:17, 31 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I've tried to fix a seemingly simple closing ref error in there, but failed miserably. Good thing this isn't the Wikipedia:Help Desk. InedibleHulk (talk) 22:07, 31 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I've fixed the various ref errors, but it was not easy; the whole article really needs an overhaul. I've no idea what's going on with those numbered lists. Matt Deres (talk) 23:14, 31 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
