Keen's book was sloppy; my favorite critic of Wikipedia continues to be Robert McHenry who notes "I don't question the fact that there's a great deal of very good very solid information in Wikipedia, it could hardly be otherwise. By sheer chance there would be there some good stuff in there. My criticism is that there is some very very bad stuff, and there's no way to tell the difference" (30 minute).
There are ways to tell the difference, they just involve using sources outside of Wikipedia.
