I could be wrong, but my impression is that there is less politics and less bias involved in defining words and and providing pronunciations and etymologies then there is an articles about history and politics and people.

I especially like Wiktionary from the point of view of exploring cognates between languages and etymologies that cross language boundaries, in a big dictionary that covers many languages all at once.
