Well seems the war on truth has started. There is a 1984 quote about history that escapes me now.

I have never had a single problem with Wikipedia in 20 years, and I don't believe an alternative exists. All text written on Wikipedia is royalty free and so are most of the images. The meaningfulness of that can't be overstated. Wikipedia is the web's greatest website and a wonder of the world.

You can't love the web without loving Wikipedia, so I'm wary of anyone who disrespects it.

In my 20-year experience with Wikipedia, I've seen one factual error relating to the Chicago Cubs, something really minor. But yeah, that's it.
