Wikipedia does not allow original research. Like every other encyclopedia, they collate information from other sources.

The problem with arguing from authority is verification: people can claim whatever they want on the internet.


I told them where to look, in two published books and nine television programmes. They couldn't be bothered, so stuff them!

I KNOW I'm right, after all I was there and I did it.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

yes, that is a big problem with Wikipedia: editors claiming ownership of a page and then arguing with everyone that tries to improve it.
