You had me convinced, Tony :). I've recently started using "Google", capitalized, to mean Google, but the lower-case verb "google" to mean simply that I searched for something on-line. (By habit I use AltaVista, actually. So I'm an old fart - so sue me.) So when I finally noticed that you were saying "google" and not "Google", I thought maybe you were referring to the internet generally, not Wikipedia specifically.

OK, I now see how I was not communicating it correctly. At one point when I was talking about Wikipedia, I started using the term 'google'. And, yes, I was incorrect. I intended to be talking about Wikipedia, not Google. I guess my age is now showing. :-( --- Jeremy Nicoll wrote on 7/20/20 9:47 AM: > Well in that case perhaps you'd care to explain to /me/ what you meant by > > ... when I said that google is not an authority.
