    They did used to say - everything in Wikipedia should start with: "I reckon.............."

    Well, apart from the obvious, format is different to what I see.

    Fair point. It came up when I typed "robert burns" into Yahoo! search box. The top link was Wikipedia and thus I jumped to the conclusion. Now I have revisited the page I see the source as being "search.yahoo.com.

    Not that the thread title loses validity. So I don't see any great need to alter the title, as it would make some of the posts appear odd.

    In fact it demonstrates that Wkipedia is a reliable source, as when you key "robert burns" into Wikipedia search box you see loads of photographs of him.
