If you are referring to the accuracy of the content, I must leap into
Wikipedia's defence and point of that Wikipedia is not an
encyclopaedia as much as it is an encyclopaedic aggregator. Every fact
is supposed to be cited as per Wikipedia's rules and regulations, and
you aren't supposed to use Wikipedia as a direct source, but as a
metasource. You check a fact, then check the citation, then use that
citation as a source.

If you mean that not having local access to Wikipedia is a problem, then [1].
