One of very few, in my opinion.  Wikipedia still receives my scorn.  They
post articles which the average person take as gospel, even though they're
contributed by well-meaning people who aren't necessarily scholars.  The
scholarship is very deficient in my experience.

Instantly available mis-information is worse than slow moving correct
information.
