.....depending on what day and time you link over to Wikipedia revealing a problem when citing Wikipedia as a source proof.

Snopes.com continues to site Wikipedia as proof of Obama's birth at Kapiolani Medical Center.

Wikipedia can't decide either way and now Wikipedia can't even decide if he was born in Hawaii. This link also, reports that the letter from the White House signed by Obama claiming Obama was born at Kapiolani Medical Center has been erased from the hospital web site but the letter itself is in dispute as a copy of the letter was printed in an ad advertising the centennial celebration for Kapiolani Medical Center. Notice the glaring differences like type font and Obama's signature.

Wikipedia can't even conclusively prove that Obama was not born at Queens Medical Center either. Right now it reads: "Some sources give this hospital as the birthplace of US President Barack Obama, although the location of his birth is not without controversy." Now this will probably change so click on Wikipedia's edit history for that page to see how it has been edited.

Snopes.com at one time sited an article from UPI.COM as proof of news accounts that reported Obama to have been born at Queen's Medical Center but UPI.COM has edited their page to read Kapionlani Medical Center so Snopes.com has discontinued the link. Remember that Snopes.com was at one time until recently a site stating that Queen's Medical Center was Obama's hospital of birth.

Maybe Snopes.com should have sited this news article from a November 2004 report published by Education Laboratory School in which Obama's half-sister is being interviewed at a K-12 charter school ran by the University of Hawaii at Manoa (where Obama's first mother and father met as students according to University article about mother. A thing of interest according to that article is that Obama's father was part of a politically liberal student circle that included Hawaiian Congressman Neil Abercrombie who was the one that read Obama's letter stating he was born at Kapiolani Medical Center during the centennial.) where Obama's half-sister actually taught at the time (see Best All-Around Teacher, Smiles and Mom of the school by scrolling down to page 25) as being born at Queen's Medical Center.

Conclusion: Snopes.com, UPI.COM and Wikipedia all have changed their sites with no conclusive evidence for why they reported the wrong hospital in the first place nor for the new hospital they revised their sites with. I think we can reasonably conclude that at least on this issue Snopes.com, Wikipedia.com and UPI.COM are unreliable sources of information.

For more reasons why we need to fact check the fact checking web sites see Snopes.com vs Darrell Scott the father of Rachel Scott who died in the Columbine school massacre incident in 1999... and FactCheck.org needs some Fact Checking itself. First Amendment attorney tells why many are concerned about hate crimes bills that FactCheck misses.

For more reasons why we need to add Conservapedia to Wikipedia for our online encyclopedia base of knowledge see Conservapedia vs Wikipedia on Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Conservapedia vs Wikipedia on the issue of homosexuality teaches a lesson in bias. and Conservapedia vs Wikipedia. Try it out for yourself.
