Ok, critique it, based on your own thinking. Be aware of any bias, fair enough. Check sources, who is to say the sources are accurate? I guess this could go into some deep debate about what sources of history are accurate.. I see Wikipedia as just a summary of accurate data.
People will believe someone who studies encyclopedias all their life but Wikipedia can't be used the same?

Not familiar with the person but maybe that is accurate? Or is there no one close to him that could fix that erroneous information?
And how does Wikipedia rank their word over some random person? Maybe this is the problem.
