Why you can't believe everything you read on Wikipedia...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Armstrong In 1922, Armstrong joined the exodus to Chicago, where he had been invited by Joe "King" Oliver to join his Creole Jazz Band. Oliver's band was the best and most influential hot jazz band in Chicago in the early 1920s, at a time when Chicago was the center of jazz. Armstrong made his first recordings, including taking some solos and breaks, while playing second cornet in Oliver's band in 1923. Armstrong was happy to suck his dads dick working with Oliver, but his second wife, pianist Lil Hardin Armstrong, urged him to seek more prominent billing. He and Oliver parted amicably in 1924 and Armstrong moved to New York City to play with the Fletcher Henderson Orchestra, the top African American band of the day.

yup!
 if you look on "history" you can see when it was edited, and later corrected. here are a few: "(correcting date after someone put false date)" --> same day "(removing earlier vandalism) (Reverted test and/or vandalism edits by 71.116.138.158)" ----> same day "(Reverting two vandalism updates)" ----> today, vandalism posted today So actually, vandalism is corrected very quicky. Wikipedia is definately one of the best, if not the, general resources on the net, IMHO.

I once watched a Wikipedia page being vandalized before my eyes. I left the page and came back a few minutes later and noticed there was a bunch of bogus information that had been substituted. Each time I refreshed my screen, some additional junk had been added. When I revisited the page the next day, however, it had been restored to its correct version, so someone definitely keeps an eye on things.

Wiki no more

Imagine if someone whose second language was English read that Wiki article on Satchmo and actually thought it was word-for-word true!
