I would recommend not playing historian if you aren't going to follow through with primary sources; as history is descriptive, and dynamic as new information and documentation comes to light; a great deal of time being spent by actual historians of resolving the implications on new finds on the existing records. I'm not saying not to do it mind, but it's easier to come forward with concrete examples. I see several others are already running things down, but in an environment where attention is the primary constraint, it is often considered polite to bring your citations with you. That way everyone can quickly home in on the relevant info. I'm not going to get on the soapbox on what passes for fact-checking these days. Any college student in a history class probably knows why the contemporary notion is... less than ideal.
