Thumbs up for Wikipedia

I've found it improving lately

Encyclopedias | Battle of Britannica | Economist.com:
summary:

"It is difficult to avoid concluding that the Nature study was comparing apples with oranges. In any case, most people don't need an expert to tell them that, while Britannica is readable and reliable, Wikipedia is a fantastically useful source of rough and ready information. And, on top of that, it's free."
