In regards to Wikipedia, I was not trying to imply that it was authoritative, but rather, according to the study written about it in the linked BBC article, that it had about as many factual errors. Of course, any information given online should be taken with a grain of salt.

As a graduate student and a librarian I can assure you that Wikipedia is in no way considered an authoritative source like the EB. EB is written by scholars of their individual field and every entry must pass extensive research unlike wikipedia which is user-generated information and in no way can anyway know whether an entry is accurate or not. I, myself have have come across much information in wikipedia that is very inaccurate and unlike EB anyone can come in, scholar or not and change and entry.

Wikipedia is not all bad, ofcourse but it should never be relied upon for authoritative information and thankfully wikipedia knows this and they are slowly taking steps to make their site more accurate and to keep false information out but until wikipedia is considered an authoritative source in library and graduate school land, in no way is looking something up in wikipedia a guarantee of accuracy.

For sisters who are overweight and tall, it’s unlikely that these clothes will continue to fit when pregnant. I find it very frustrating because I LOVE your clothes and would probably shop from you almost exclusively, if I could fit into them. But with my fourth child on the way, I’m now a size 20 (Australian) and 180cm tall.
