If ever there is a topic you need to know about, the web's free encyclopaedia will likely have the answer for you: en.wikipedia.com
If you read up on how Wikipedia works, it seems anarchistic, it seems strange, and it seems somehow machiavellian in the extreme, but there is no doubt that it works. With all those authors contributing and, hopefully, not making stuff up, the peer review process means that it covers Fox Terriers to Robots with equal aplomb. However, when it is confronted with a contentious topic, it can all get a bit out of hand - as the Terri Schiavo entry's history shows.
