Hi,

 a German magazine editor recently ranted a little bit about wikipedia
(on the occasion of the Nature publication). 
(http://www.spektrumdirekt.de/artikel/796177&template=d_nd_y)

However, there is some kind of "survey" online:

Feel free to answer these totally unbiased questions :)

4. If the answer on 3. is yes, did you correct the mistake? [note:
