That doesn't seem very intelligent on wikipedia's part.
Nope. The founder of the site even admitted the people who have the power to "fix" people's edit had a liberal leaning too, which is not good when it comes to history and political articles. I'm not saying they're always wrong, but it makes people pick and choose which facts to include and also makes people interpret things differently and therefore affects how they write things. An encyclopedia SHOULD be written without emotions or opinions tarnishing actual facts.
It's basically a big collection of people's writings, whether they're factual or editorial-styles, only the authors know.
Wiki is more of a hangout/blog-type thing than legit resource. This is why most schools (at least the decent ones) ban students from using it as a reference in their papers and reports.
