1. The study was to compare Wikipedia and Encyclopedia Britannica. To test each site on their accurate files.
2. The results as quoted from the article are, "Wikipedia had 162 such problems, while Britannica had 123. That averages out to 2.92 mistakes per article for Britannica and 3.86 for Wikipedia." So the results show that Wikipedia is not the only website that has false facts.
3. I believe that Wikipedia receives more heat, because it is a more well known site. Coming from a students point of view at least. More people know about Wikipedia so more people research on this site.
4. My Wikipedia edit has been changed back to normal.
