It's Wikipedia mythbuster time: 8 of the best on your 15th birthday

Re: >"reader's digest"

a subject I feel knowledgeable about and catch them out in some unambiguous factual error or omission.

Oh I've seen photographs or organisms which are of the wrong species. Links from articles on 15th century subjects go to people living in the 18th century. Dates of European monarchs wrong. A described as a contemporary of B when A had died 100 years before B was born. Etc, etc. There is hardly any article that I care about there where I could be confident that the information was correct.
