A load of BOL*OCKS again! Different sources, different answers! I'm getting nostalgic now, remembering a time when all answers were rigorously checked out by invigilators and either passed or dropped. Now? It seems anything goes.

Wikipedia is not an authoritative source. Check the references. Wikipedia can give different answers every 10 minutes depending who edited the article last.
