Good question! I don’t mind at all. I use a variety of web sources - including Lostpedia, TV.com, imdb and wikipedia. However, I’m pretty weary of those sources and just use ‘em as a starting point for further research. Basic info, like birth place, I can usually trust….but other odder trivia I always google to find a more official article (such as a magazine, newspaper site, direct quotes) that’ll verify it. If I can’t find anything more on something a site claimed, I won’t post it. I also get trivia ideas by searching directly for official articles written on the cast members - not by fans, but by professional journalists. Entertainment Weekly, TV Guide, USA Today and Eonline have lots. Others I find through googling “cast member name, interview”. Oftentimes, the trivia items come directly from something that cast member said about the themself.
I imagine that some wrong info has slipped through, but I do my best to avoid it. If I have any doubt that something’s true, I won’t post it. And if anyone reads something that they think (or know) isn’t true, please feel free to message me. I’d love to know the truth, too!
I hope that makes sense and was helpful. :) And of course, I hope you’re enjoying the trivia.
