Caveat lector[edit]

See Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2012-01-30/Recent research, section "Can Wikipedia replace commercial biography databases?":

For some reason, Jennie Tourel, a Russian-American opera singer, often provided false information, but, according to the Wilson biography [Current Biography, the main content source of Biography Reference Bank], "passports and other documents that surfaced soon after her death helped to correct some of these inaccuracies".
