At the Merz Akademie in Stuttgart I did a direct comparison with Britannica on some key subjects, and Wikipedia clearly came out on top in many areas.
Maybe that's valid for the english version. Concerning the German version we are facing many a lot gaps and semi-info.
If you're going to do a comprehensive paper, that's the direction I would pursue.
Please talk about the problematic areas, too. Often (I'm talking about the German version) articles are just listings and another problem is, that many a lot home land lovers (Heimatliebhaber) are active - thus most of the time you will read only good things within their articles and worse, they don'e hesitate to manipulate history.
Articles like "Böhmen" are always in danger.
