I'm sure this is true and the article presents relevant points about Wikipedia's drug coverage, but it probably largely comes down to what's in the second to last paragraph:
"But no internet source can replace the authority of a physician, doctors said."
In other words, "no computer can do my job better than I can."
Never heard that before and I can't imagine the motivation behind the statement.
At some point (if not already) it seems likely that it will be generally safer to look up a drug and find out the effects on the Internet (maybe never on Wikipedia, but somewhere). No doctor's brain can contain a complete database of every drug and its effects and interactions with other drugs.
