You obviously haven't even looked at wikipedia. Then
please spare us your prejudiced opinions about it.

"That, all of that," is never mentioned in discussions of
it. Who's the editor responsible for the field of
linguistics?

For the gazillionth time, I have seen umpteen excerpts
from it posted here, which have provided ample basis for
my legitimate opinions about it.

In order to hold a legitimate opinion about it, you would
actually have to have used it moderately extensively. The
excerpts that you've seen aren't a substitute for that. In
fact you've chosen to see only what reinforces your
prejudices and have steadfastly refused to acknowledge that
it can do some things better than the standard print
encyclopaedias. Bluntly, you've exaggerated a legitimate
concern, one of which all sensible users are well aware,
into an irrational prejudice.

Since I know how unreliable it is about things I know about,

In fact you don't.
