Picswiki:General disclaimer

From Picswiki

The PICS Wiki is an online open-content collaborative software documentation database, that is, a voluntary association of individuals and groups who are developing a common resource of human knowledge. The structure of the project allows anyone with an account, an Internet connection, and World Wide Web browser to alter its content. Please be advised that nothing found here has necessarily been reviewed by professionals with the expertise required to provide you with complete, accurate, or reliable information.

That is not to say that you will not find valuable and accurate information in the PICS Wiki; much of the time you will. However, Electronic Visions, Inc. cannot guarantee the validity of the information found here. The content of any given database record may recently have been changed, vandalized, or altered by someone whose opinion does not correspond with the state of knowledge in the relevant fields.
