Here is the real-life experience that I had this weekend! Here is the Wikipedia article I read about Rancho Temescal. The article is WRONG, and it's wrong in the first paragraph:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rancho_Temescal_(Serrano)

Here is the source cited by the Wikipedia article:

http://books.google.com/books?id=lA44AAAAIAAJ&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_ge_summary_r

And finally here is where I found the proof that the Wikipedia article was wrong:

http://books.google.com/books?id=pHk-AAAAYAAJ&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_ge_summary_r&cad=0#v=onepage&q=serrano&f=false

What process did I go through? What evidence did I gather that proves that the Wikipedia article in question is wrong? That's my challenge to you! We will talk about this when class begins on Wednesday.
