So when the sources contain inaccurate information then Wikipedia does so as well. I don't see how that is a good thing people view Wikipedia as the online version of the Encyclopedia Britannica which was curated by experts. Wikipedia should strive for the truth since finding truthful and factual information is becoming increasingly more difficult online.

Pre-Wikipedia encyclopedias could be worse! And their inaccuracies could last a long time since not everyone could afford or wanted to update their entire set. You also had no way to see the discussion behind claims to help inform your interpretation.

Wikipedia seeks reliable sources. If you dispute a source, take it up in the article's talk page.

And yet Wikipedia has ended up being more accurate than "Encyclopedia Britannica which was curated by experts". How odd.
