Wikipedia. So...how accurate is it?

Wasn't it about a year ago, around the time aforementioned Penny Arcade strip was published, when Wikipedia received a lot of bad press regarding inaccuracies and vandalism? Kinda like that whole "Et tu, Firefox?" affair, when people realized that the latest open-source shooting star - god forbid - was not free of bugs either.

Sufficient to say that I happily go about my Wikipedia business (reading and contributing) using Firefox, my point being, that there is no such thing as a flawless system. Yet with enough people involved there is always a good chance for improvement. Too bad the templates {{sprotected}} and {{fact}} don't get as much press as the events which made them necessary in the first place.

A few words for LeHah: Chill! If you don't like Wikipedia, that's your thing but the way you're bashing that medium and everyone even remotely involved with it, all you're achieving is to look like an idiot. I share your problem with people being ignorant against better knowledge but in this case, this might as well work both ways.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
