Wikipedia Reference Desk
The Wikipedia reference desk works like a library reference desk. You can leave a question at the reference desk and Wikipedia volunteers work to help you find the information you need. Before asking a question, please try using the search boxes at right to search Wikipedia as a whole or the Reference Desk archives. You can often find the answer you're looking for more quickly with a search than by waiting for a response. Note: legal or medical advice is prohibited. Further information is available at Wikipedia's legal and medical disclaimers. See also Medical advice guidelines.
