The one time I searched for something I actually know something about 
(Chinese History), I thought the entry was pretty shabby and somewhat 
inaccurate. (They had one out of the five or six reasons scholars cite for 
the downfall of the Qing empire.  What made it worse was that one reason 
was "The westerners came in and fucked everything up."  Which is sort of 
biased, not to mention very incomplete.)

So yeah.  Its a great tool, but check it with Brittanica if you can.
