Print is "permanent" and the error may go unnoticed for generations if the subject is even semi-obscure.

Wikipedia may have some biases in some articles where the subject lends itself to biased admins ****ing things up, but it's better than a printed encyclopedia from the 70s.

And there's a whole ton of spinoffs that may be better or worse depending on their specialty.

If we set aside the issue of being current, no, Wikipedia is not as good as a printed encyclopedia. Encyclopedias hire experts to write their articles based on trained, in-depth research. In contrast, on Wikipedia any jackass can write anything they wish.
