Actually I think Wikipedia is pretty good for tricky questions, in that they attract a lot of attention and receive a lot of edits.
If being a scientist is determined by the consensus of one's peers, it seems like it makes sense to accept an article defining what scientists are that is written as a consensus opinion.
But anyway, if you think it's wrong, why don't you edit it?

Wikipedia is not the ultimate repository of human knowledge, particularly when it comes to more tricky questions like "what is a scientist?"...
If we're going to throw definitions around, how about dictionary.com: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/scientist?s=t
