I honestly find its biggest problems to be large amounts of irrelevant detail, often lots of complexity when it's not really necessary, but how often is it really wrong?
There's a large segment of the population that seems to believe that pointing out you cited Wikipedia = I'm smart = you're wrong. And that's stupid, it just allows you to completely disregard whatever anyone else is saying.
Please don't respond with something like 'Well this one time I was on this article and it said...' because I don't want vignettes. Every source is wrong sometimes, and to be honest, if you noticed that it was wrong, no damage was done, especially if you were decent human beings and took the 3 seconds it takes to correct it for everyone else.
