Of course, one can expect Britannica to have a vested, self-interest in discrediting Wikipedia..

Wikipedia is addressing it's problems in this respect, and I have every confidence on most issues I wish to look up..
It's the matter of current events and individual reputations / political views that most often come under attack..
Politics, Religion, Famous People..
All come under attack from various sources according to their point of view, be it ideological or personal..

If Wikipedia manages to get together a decent, even handed board of review for such topics, and restricts editing to fully reviewed and approved information, then these matters of contention will be resolved..

I guess we differ, I have little confidence in anything I can't verify from other sources. Though as I noted, they're good on footnoting, and thus a worthwhile resource.

Wikipedia is garbage.
