I wouldn't lose sleep over critics "having a field day" on any particular weak
article. Sad to say, if people really want to find problematic material in
Wikipedia, then they won't have to look very hard, regardless of the quality of
any individual article like [[Opus Dei]]. Wikipedia is, effectively,
permanently "under construction" -- although the increasingly large set of core
articles is becoming pretty solid, it's always going to be easy to find an
embarrasingly-naff entry somewhere.
