The wikipedia page I chose to review is one for one of my favorite bands, The Devil Wears Prada. NOTE:The Devil Wears Prada against popular belief was a band years before there was ever a film, just FYI.
One read through of the page and everything seems to be in order. I read through the page on many occasion, even months prior to attending college. But fro a while there was a crucial mistake I noticed that had been fixed recently.For months the site stated The Devil Wears Prada's newest album charted at #9 on the US charts on one section of the page, but on another part of the page it stated the the album charted at #10. I had to actually look up the performance of the album on The Rolling Stone website. It said that the album charted at #10 after all. Though one chart position does seem like a big deal, it is actually a huge difference, especially when dealing albums included in the top 10 in the U.S. Charting 9 and 10 can be the difference of selling 45,000 copies and 50,000 copies for an albums first week release. As of today I cannot see any significant errors. There is some unnecessary content, but even most of this is cited. Overall the page is well well written. I can tell the difference of this page from the first time I read it in 2009 to now, and I has been well reformed. The page includes many sources and links that gives the page a sense of trust.
Wikipedia is an ever changing source - you can check the revision history of pages on there as well. That's a very good catch to notice in one part of the article it said #9 vs #10, many people might not have noticed that (and given the nature of the collaborative effort of wikipedia, one assumes that the author or authors did not notice it until recently).
