Google.com and Scholarly Research - Caution

Further emphasis for my stricture that internet search engines, including Google.com, should only be used as part of academic research only when you already possess expertise on the subject area in question is provided by a google search on Diana Mosley. The first result in the search is an link to an hagiographic article on oswaldmosley.com -- which only an educated few will know to be the website of a Fascist front.

Update: Re. Wikipedia, see this NYT article on "Rewriting History: Snared in the Web of a Wikipedia Liar."
