Er...are you suggesting that it's too much to ask for you to even just
cite a website that can verify the information? (Presuming you know the
information from experience and not from another source.) After all,
websites are acceptable sources - better something than nothing. If you 
add something from memory, just Google it a bit and cite the most 
reliable-looking website as the source. Better than nothing, as I said.
