Citing your work is crap. Nobody asks where you get the information in adult life, as long as it's correct you are good. If it's not....well you just got fired for being an idiot.
Wikipedia is full of bias, just look at the umpteen thousand pages on global warming. Hippies....ppft

what i was getting at is, that like wikipedia the encyclopedia is wirtten by man, man makes mistakes, i mean half the stuff on wikipedia is correct, thats mostly stuff that relates to history or people or objects, theres quite a bit of crap on there as well, encyclopedias no different apart from the fact the crap doesnt get changed as often, so for the majority of us mechanical users, wikipedia is bloody brilliant for finding out facts.

The only thing I was getting at is, that there are people paid to constantly update, fix mistakes and ensure the accuracy of the encyclopedia. Where as Wikipedia there isn't, if you or me finds a mistake we aren't likely to try our best to correct it.
You are right thou, man will always make mistakes. Wikipedia is full of information and for anyone looking for general information, I agree it is a good starting point.
I think that is all it really should be, is a starting point of research, not the ending point. Well I suppose that goes for anything, you will never stop learning until the day you die.

Regarding the toilet flush direction thing, you may argue the passages in the toilet rim influence the swirl direction. While the possibility exists, I invite you to fill a bathtub, sink, or laundry tub, and yank the plug. It will develop a swirl, see which way it goes. There are no jets or other additional forces affecting the direction of the swirl.
