Wikipedia survives research test

This certainly falls within my experience - sure there are errors in the Open Source Encyclopedia, but there are errors in the ones written only by "experts" as well. After all, both are written by humans, and humans make mistakes.

The real trial for Wikipedia is going to be finding and squashing those errors as it grows ever larger.

The online resource Wikipedia is about as accurate on science as the Encyclopedia Britannica, a study shows.
