The renowned South Korean scientist, Dr. Hwang Woo-suk, is said to have falsified many of his results. He is very well respected in South Korea, with some commentators saying that it is unpatriotic to question him. I find this rather worrisome for South Korean journalistic integrity.
BBC
Nature magazine did a comparison of Wikipedia and Encyclopedia Britannica science articles and found them to be comparable in accuracy. However, they said many of the Wikipedia articles were poorly written. This result certainly surprises me. I'm hoping they fixed the mistakes they found while they were at it. It's bothersome when someone complains about the accuracy of Wikipedia, but doesn't fix the problem themself.
Update: The actual Nature article
