1) The article mainly talks about the fonder of the website and how it all got started and about how it still is progressing today. Wikipedia is an online free encyclopedia that has information on nearly everything. The article also talks about how the site is not always credible due to the fact that basically anyone can edit information on the site.
2) "Wikipedia remains a lumpy work in progress. The entries can read as though they had been written by a seventh grader: clarity and concision are lacking; the facts may be sturdy, but the connective tissue is either anemic or absent; and citation is hit or miss." I think that this passage is effective because it first states that wikipedia is a work in progress and after expands on that statement with a detail.
3) The main difference between the two sites is that Encyclopedia Britanica only allows accurate information to be published so the site is more credible. Whereas Wikipedia lets pretty much anyone publish any information, even if it is false. Britannica is also offered as a physical book which Wikipedia does not offer.
