That article is vaguely interesting, but the fact they have an ex E-Britannica guy commenting on our encyclopedia article says a lot about what they wanted to hear.
The Guardian Online really, really loves Wikipedia because the managing editor of the online edition really, really loves Wikipedia (so I was told at a job interview there a few months ago, when the interviewer noticed "Wikipedia" in my interests ;-).
That said, I find it hard to consider the above unfair. It's the real-world acid test and mostly rings true to me.
