As you maybe now, after the sudden death of Lech Kaczynski (jn airjet crash in Smolens) we have now fast presidential election. One of the most serious candidates Bronisław Komorowski was cached with printed copy of Wikipedia article about
"Rada Bezpieczeństwa Narodowego"
http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rada_Bezpiecze%C5%84stwa_Narodowego
a presidential advisory board for national security :-)
Journalist from Poland just started commenting if we really need a president who's main source of knowledge about national security comes form Wikipedia :-).

Better than Fox news, I'd wager :-)
Well, he might turn it another way: He checked in person whether no real state secret is presented to public in that article :)
... or (making some good PR for Wikimainia ;) ) that he checked himself whether article is good enough as Wikipedia project is so important (and because some of those nasty joutnalists will need Wikipedia to get some knowledge for themselves :-P )

Given the simply staggering coverage of millitry issues on various wikimedia projects I can think of worse places to start.

Yes, but, from a professional point of view, our coverage of geopolitical and national security and military issues *sucks*.
Sorry to be blunt, but it's terrible.
The WikiProject Military people are great at military history and hardware; contemporary issues and strategy and tactics and capabilities coverage, the sorts of things needed by current leaders, are not good.
Our geopolitics issues are largely captured by special interest subgroups of people, ...
It's not bad as a high school level intro, perhaps; not entirely neutral, but not bad at that level. It would not survive exposure to grad school level challenges or actual real world issue handling, by and large.
