It's as imperfect as its editors, as are many paper sources.

I'm a Wikipedia editor. Anyone visiting the Wikipedia site can edit 
any page, except a few that are limited to registered editors because 
of vandalism and especially, hot religious and political topics, and 
these are clearly marked in red at the top of the page for 
transparency.

Are you reading this from the English language version, the Spanish, 
or the Italian? They are not identical.

Take a look at the discussion tab. You can post your comments there.

You don't write TO Wikipedia. You write it into Wikipedia yourself.
