PLEASE KNOW THAT ANY INFORMATION YOU MIGHT FIND IN WIKIPEDIA MAY NOT BE CORRECT. IT MIGHT BE DANGEROUS OR AGAINST THE LAW.

As some information on Wikipedia may be wrong, there is a risk for readers who choose to use information found on Wikipedia in their own ways.

None of the authors, editors, sponsors, administrators, vandals, or anyone else connected with Wikipedia, in any way at all, can be responsible for your use of the information in or linked from these web pages.

Please take all steps to make sure that any information you copy from Wikipedia is correct and has references. Check the references at the end of the article. Read the article's talk page and revision history to see if there are any big questions over the content of the article. Double-check information with other sources.

If an article has ideas with dangerous, illegal or unethical things, remember that anyone can post this information on Wikipedia. The authors may not be qualified to write enough information or to tell you about good steps you can take to stop injury or other damages to your property or reputation. If you need more advice (for example, medical, legal, risk management) please look for someone licensed or knowledgeable in that area.

The information on Wikipedia is not looked at before it is added. Readers may find and correct mistakes in the article, but they do not have to. All information here may not be useful for some purposes or use.
