No, I mean that "facts" often found in Wikipedia have been changed and
altered by reader input, at least that's my understanding. IOW, it can't be
trusted to be a neutral and honest reference.

When I see the tape of Cruise's interview with Matt Lauer, I can draw my
own conclusions.  Right now, while I don't doubt what some people say
happened, I tend to.  When passions are high and feelings are strong, it's
often the case that those reporting events are, if not mistaken about the
facts, quite possibly putting their own spin on them, engaging in
hyperbole, misspeaking, and in other ways not giving a totally neutral and
disinterested account.

I would agree that, if everything that has been said here is true and
factual, TC may be an overly impassioned zealot wrt Scientology.  To call
him weird is, IMO, subjective, especially wrt to his appearance on the
Oprah show and some of his other personal actions.  But then, I'm a bit
eccentric and out of the mainstream myself, so seeing a man jump up and
down on a couch on national TV doesn't strike me as being at all odd. 
Having the same person sit there and calmly and intellectually explain his
feelings of love, or any of another of his passions, would strike me as
somewhat odd behavior.
