My trust in Wikipedia disappeared after Ryan 'Essjay' Jordan was outed by the New Yorker. This was a man who claimed to be a tenured professor with two Masters' degrees, but in reality was a college dropout.
Wikipedia relies on anonymous individuals and anonymous editors with unverified credentials. The fact that they have free reign to push any agenda as they please makes them completely unreliable, even as a starting point for research. Jimmy Wales disinterest in correcting this situation only means that they will continue to have no legitimacy in my book.

Cameron originally envisioned the Terminator as a small, unremarkable man, giving it the ability to blend in more easily. As a result, his first choice for the part was Lance Henriksen. O. J. Simpson was on the shortlist but Cameron did not think that such a nice guy could be a ruthless killer.
