Do I need to tell you that Wikipedia is accurate in this case ?

Once again you have missed the point.

Some months ago someone did a back-to-back study of a fairly significant sample of wiki entries vs Encyclopedia Britannica Online, and found wiki to be, on average, slightly better than the scholarly E.B.

But when wiki was wrong, it was WAAAAYYYY off base. Hence my caveat.
