It isn't as much that Wikipedia is perfect, but rather than I could imagine 100 ways in which it could be so much worse.

It is not perfectly nonpartisan, but compare it to the websites that are similar in popularity and you'll find there's no contest.

I'm very cynical, much more so than you, however you do make a good point. I like that at least they have a little bit of transparency in the talk pages, even if im often not always happy with the consensus

Is it really cynicism more than a nirvana fallacy?

That’s my grievance with Wikipedia too.
