I can’t remember Dave Mustaine’s (from the band Megadeth) exact quote but it was something about him liking to visit Wikipedia because he always learns stuff about himself that even he didn’t know.
I’d like to be able to put more faith in Wikipedia as I think the basic concept is good, but I always have to wonder how accurate the information is.
My experience is they’re pretty good on scientific stuff. And you can use them as a link source - bottom of the page.
It’s the history pages, particularly recent history, that their editorialism creeps in.
