    On career part

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gervinho

    "On 2nd of June Gervinho announced he will sign for Newcastle United"

    I hopes it true and reliable :)

    His current club changed to Newcastle as well

    Mate. Anyone can edit Wikipedia.

    If I was you, I wouldn't trust it as a main source of news.

    When there's an official linkable source, it'll change and stay put. If it's a fake, then the moderators will change it back pretty rapidly.

    We've been told we're allowed to use it, as long as we have another source, or it is to check information that cannot be opinion based (DoB's etc.)

    Refering to an encyclopedia is suprisingly more inaccurate than wiki...

    Here's your answer as to Wiki's reliability:

    "On 02 June, Gervinho confirmed he's joined a family of wolves in a bid to escape his troubled addiction to internet porn."
