Yes, Wikipedia contains errors. What annoys me is that so many critics just do that - criticize. Since they know so much, why don't they make the effort of correcting the flawed entries? When I come across what I know is an error, or bad spelling, I check my facts and correct the entry.
Well, some of them probably do, but they feel the need to remind people (especially those of the younger persuasion) that it's flawed, because the kids probably won't know if they come across an error.
Besides which, it's one of those important "Don't believe everything you read" lessons. ;-)
