Wikipedia is as accurate as Encyclopaedia Britannica and both have some errors on different subjects. Just like if someone gets a second opinion from a doctor regarding their medical illnesses. The bottom line is that whatever you research on using Wikipedia or Encyclopaedia Britannica are good tools for information, but researchers should check other sources.
