Well wikipedia has serious problems, I will give you an example, the article on Kosova, it is constantly debated attacked changed and always disputed...at any one time there will be two sides the Serbs and the Albanians claiming that the article isn't neutral. So to combat the problem often information is taken out, it leaves the article dry, to battle speculation or one-sidedness you get the bare facts. In a sense that's OK but this type of information you can get basically anywhere on the internet, so in a way it's not helping wikipedia, it’s giving an unhelpful entry on the subjects that people are most likely to look up. On the other hand, when an article isn't so debatable it usually turns out very good many sources are compiled a thorough and very informative description is done, especially on some scientific article or other less combative topics. I would say overall it's pretty good but on the issues that are controversial, it is sub par.
