I am active on three lists in three quite different disciplines, and  
every person, on every list thinks Wikipedia is garbage, based on  
their survey of it, in the areas where they have competence. That has  
certainly been my experience.  Like Henry I have corrected mistakes,  
only to go back and find them retro-"corrected" into error.  Often on  
the simplest, and most solid of facts.  Henry's comments were polite.
