wikipedia is just a pile of junk. everyone can put in it, and
unfortunately do.
Meanwhile, in print encyclopedias, I see that with restricted writing
access and strict editing processes there are typically systemic biases
and subtler mistakes that are much easier to overlook -- and the mistakes
not only persist until the next edition, but often exist for decades,
whereas finding a mistake in Wikipedia is fixable within five minutes.
and 3 others are added.
The key is that an encyclopedia should never be the *end* of your
research. It's basically just a place to look for key terms to research
actually what i do - to get the first glance on subject, THEN checking
more precisely.
but quite often it's crap even at the first glance
