[Air-L] Wikipedia & health information

[Dr. Dina Ralt]

 Based on its search engine ranking and page view statistics, the English
Wikipedia is a prominent source of online health information compared to the
other online health information providers studied.

This is despite the data of Wikipedia that are less complete, and that has
more errors of omission than the comparator database.
