http://news.com.com/Study+Wikipedia+as+accurate+as+Britannica/2100-1038_3-5997332.htmlI found that interesting, too. But note that, since it is quite open to editing by different people, there is really no way to control that no insidious lies are spread. Perhaps in a few select topics, depending on the motivation of the individuals involved.
Despite this risk, I use the Wikipedia
a lot for researching all sorts of things.
