Nature’s Wikipedia errors fixed

The project for fixing all the errors Nature found in wikipedia is complete.

The original report, published December 14, 2005, covered 42 articles on scientific topics, comparing the number of mistakes in both Wikipedia and Encyclopædia Britannica. Exactly 42 days later on January 25, the effort on Wikipedia’s part to address these errors was declared complete. Only 38 articles actually required changes, however, since Nature reviewers identified no errors in four of them.

I wonder if Britannica fixed theirs already and sent new versions to everyone. Bet not.
