I'm pleased by the accuracy on subjects I know something about, such as mathematics and chemistry. Besides, how many general encyclopedias have articles on Marvin the Martian?

On the other hand, any topic that's remotely controversial seems to become a war of changes and reversions. Even something as esoteric as "libertarianism".

On the other hand, today's featured article on Charles II won't pull up in my browser.

Just a bad link, I guess. It does come up if you type in Charles II in the search window.
