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

Absolute nonsense. Wikipedia is infinitely better than every source of “facts” out there.

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.

Probably:

The scale of deep body trauma that has been done to the US will not seem clear today, but it will have dire consequences for the future trajectory of US. I am sad for this, for the current status quo I was born under, but I suppose History must happen.
