I've read though that article before, and it is ok. Wikipedia generally has correct information, but it is in no way perfect. One example of an error in that article is the appearance of the World Trader Center. I watched the episode to see that shot, but never once did I find anything remotely close. Also if you look at any of the aerial shots of Paradigm City, the financial distinct of Manhattan is completely underwater, i.e. no more World Trade Center. So that's one minor error with it, and I know there are more.
