...since its inception, the biggest issue dogging Wikipedia has been concerns about its accuracy. Sanger himself left Wikipedia in 2002 over questions about the legitimacy of the project's entries; he later established a competing encyclopedia, Citizendium, with more rigorous contribution criteria. While a 2005 study by Nature found that Wikipedia's science entries came close to matching the Encyclopaedia Britannica's in terms of accuracy - with 2.92 mistakes per article for Britannica and 3.86 for Wikipedia - no one argues that Wikipedia's content is flawless.

By turns amusing, profane and whiny, Julie & Julia was a best seller. It did not include a blurb from Child, who reportedly found Powell's project disrespectful and unserious. Thankfully, in writing her screenplay, Ephron drew on a second source, Child's memoir My Life in France (published after Child's death in 2004 and written with Alex Prud'homme).
