Well its a debate.
I heard on NPR the other day that Wiki administrators are taking steps to improve the credibility of articles. Many of the articles are written by experts, but in my opinion there is a lack of review by panel of experts.

Lazy. A friend of mine works for a government publication. An article he had written 2 years ago is used on Wikipedia. He had no idea it was there.
The article is more than a little slanted toward his agency's point of view. But that's what he's paid to do.

You're absolutely wrong about that, it is written by experts and reliable sources of info.
