Using Wiki#ia for this? A website were most articles have so many glarring flaws? Where idiots are running rampart writing crap and wrong facts?
No wonder today's Generation is so stupid if they use Wikipedia and other unrealiable websites. "Itz on da Intanet so it mast be tru!"
Would be best if Wikipedia stays black forever.

The news doesn’t stop. But if Congress passes the Stop Online Piracy Act or the Protect Intellectual Property Act, your access to it could — and the owners and publisher of Raw Story won’t stand for that. In protest of Congress’ interest in passing the legislation, Raw Story will join with sites like BoingBoing, Reddit, Wikipedia and IMGUR and black out from 8 am ET until 8 pm ET tomorrow, just to demonstrate what the government could end up doing to Americans in service of corporate interests (and their political donations and lobbying dollars).

Because if other nations and other cultures had the power and influence that the USA has-- they would use it only for their own good-- and, therefore, are terribly afraid that the USA will one day do just that.

And, by the way, the USA got that power because the world was in terrible trouble, and came, dragged, kicking an screaming, into the global world as asked. So quit your whining.

Nope, in fact Wikipedia is very accurate in natural sciences department (at least for quick checking of specific facts, or to get a basic overview of the subject). It of course wont replace scripts or books, but it always comes handy.
It is comparable to printed encyclopedias in reliability:
