Then, I'm afraid, the site is totally worthless. There are a lot of fanatics, such as Flat Earthers, that can change entries to suit
themselves.

It is nice to think that an online search can find the information we need. But any online site can be hacked into and the information
changed. So I'm afraid that any online site is undependable. Frankly printed books are not much better. But once in print, they stay
the same. Which makes them a bit better. And most major publishers do check the information before they publish it.

There is no substsitute for checking over several different printed sources.
