Brief:
I have watched Wikipedia start as an idea in the head of an individual to become a world-wide success in the information business. Allowing users to improve articles was a great idea in that not all historians are correct in what gets published in standard encyclopedias. Someone once thought it would not work because of valdals. However, authors who create articles in this site will not sit back while spammers do their work on their creations.
What I do not like about Wikipedia are those self righteous liberal editors who go throughout the system deleting any conservative work they find. I am probably the foremost authority on Creation Science, due to my involvement with in the 67th Legislature, yet those liberal editors allow all articles on the subject to publish one-sided hearsay while keeping out references to the contrary.
I also object to the recent push to delete all outside references. Wiki has had to contend with the reputation of being unreliable due to the nature of the edits. Teachers throughout the world will not allow students to use articles from Wiki because of that reputation. The only legit items allowed by teachers have been the outside references, which give valuable additional information on the subjects of the articles. Now, Wiki is allowing these vicious editors to remove those outside references.
