> Of course Wikipedia has problems with errors, vandalism, and sometimes sloppy writing, but overall it is a magnificent achievement. Wikipedia is a magnificent achievement, one that is held back by regression to the mean (anything very well written has a high probability/inevitability of replacement by something written by somebody who doesn't appreciate the qualities of good writing), political correctness and similar censorship, and concerted narrow interest public relations scrubbing (which you might say is covered by vandalism but which I think is not) I think my ordering and emphasis is more accurate.
