Quote:There are no references for the shield. But that is not important for Wikipedia. Truth seems to be actually of minor importance on wikipedia, what matters is verifiability - if 100 sources say, in identical words, that flying saucers exist, and one source says they don't, then as far a wikipedia is concerned the case for the existence of flying saucers is made. :wink:The date range would have cast the die of doubt in my mind. One of the biggest problems with Wikipedia is the concept of allowing it to be filled by any self proclaimed expert. The second biggest problem is a combined lack of a disclaimer about this and the world's apparent acceptability of what is written in there.
There can be some decent references in there, but anything without a GOOD bibliography at the end is automatically suspect in my eyes.
