    Wikipedia used to be really good for medical topics and scientists because odds were good the actual scientist specializing in whatever it was you wanted to research wrote the damn entry.

    The problem is that the neckbeards cannot distinguish between redundancy and subtle but critical differences, and know absolutely no science whatsoever, so they would merge or delete articles about completely different topics because they thought it was about the same thing. And since seniority and unemployment are the only things that matter when Wikipedia editors have a dispute, the idiots won.

    Long story short, most of the really good Wikipedia articles I had bookmarked from ten years ago are trashed and incoherent or flat out gone now.
