Nature declared Wikipedia Accurate

… or at least as accurate as Encyclopedia Brittanica. Here’s the link from the NY Times, which says:

Wikipedia, the encyclopedia that relies on volunteers to pen nearly 4 million articles, is about as accurate in covering scientific topics as Encyclopedia Britannica, the journal Nature wrote in an online article published Wednesday.
[…]
Based on 42 articles reviewed by experts, the average scientific entry in Wikipedia contained four errors or omissions, while Britannica had three.

Of eight ‘‘serious errors’’ the reviewers found – including misinterpretations of important concepts – four came from each source, the journal reported.
