But the thing is, at the end of the day Wikipedia is still the best website on the web. It's amazing. It's continually accurate, inaccuracies get fixed very quickly because just about every article is someone's pet project, etc.

Yeah there are a few things - like some political articles - that you should be careful with, but everything has citations. You can see the historical edits, you can see the talk page, it's all very transparent.

Whether it's fun and nice to contribute to is irrelevant to me. To me it's a fantastic source of information. And so whatever they're doing, they must be doing right.
