  One of the major criticisms against wikipedia is that it's basically a
jungle, where actual experts have to compete with egoistic laymen and
outright vandals.

  For example, a physicist criticized wikipedia because he read one of its
physics pages (damned if I remember which one) and spotted several errors
and omissions, and proceeded to make lengthy corrections and tidying-up of
the page (probably spending hours on it). The original author of the page
reverted all is changes with the press of a button. The physicist gave up.
