That other references are inaccurate is irrelevant, Rob.  Even the article
you referenced agrees that Wiki has had a fair share of false and
misleading info published.

If we're talking about certain types of facts, Wiki may be as good as many
other reference materials, but we're talking about the subjectively
observed behavior of Tom Cruise.  In no case would I trust any source to be
accurate with situations of the sort we're discussing here, and, if the
information were important to me, I'd check several sources, and maybe even
go back to the original source, were that possible.
