Why? I doubt its accuracy is any more suspect than many other web pages. In fact, I suspect it might be better than the average.

Because while it may be accurate, it's as likely to be wrong as anything. It's not authoritative, and it is updatable.

Now, it's perfect for something like this, but I can see how it would fall far short of the standard required for an academic paper.

Look at the top of the page. It'll indicate whether the page needs updating or more information. Matter of fact, the page we're linked to has such a "disclaimer".
