    It's been said, but Wikipedia may not be "humanity's Greatest Working", but it is a "grand experiment."

    Actually, it's a "failed experiment".

    Except, you know, when it can be cross-referenced with other sources.

    The next logical step being to not waste any time on Wikipedia and just go to some reliable sources.
