sure, Wikipedia has problems, just like any central database of information.
is there something specifically egregious about Wikipedia that makes it more
harmful then helpful? while every piece of writing is biased, Wikipedia
seems to me to have many advantages for weeding out opinion from fact such
as forcing people to cite their entries with outside sources and letting
basically anyone challenge the current entry on nearly any topic with
opposing evidence and views (by the way, did you think of changing the entry
yourself?) without reasoning on why this source of information is worse then
many other sources, i am left wondering why you "hate" Wikipedia, presumably
much more intensely then other sources.
