As a rule, the longer a Wikipedia page is, the less I trust its veracity. That said, it is accurate in some areas and less accurate in others. It does provide some of the differing views on inerrancy. That is helpful for a cursory understanding.

Wikipedia does seem to be doing better but sometimes the bibliography/reference notes will still send you on a wild rabbit chase (Hmm, how did I get here?).

Many have tried, but, long as they stuck to the truth, no one has found any inerrancy in Scripture.
One notable who tried was Immanuel Velikovsky, the Russian Jewish scientist who wrote Worlds In Collision among other works. He set out to disprove parts of the Torah, especially the stories about the sun & moon standing still in the sky for Joshua, & the sun moving in reverse for Hezekiah. He came away convinced of their VERACITY. -
Wikipedia aside. There are three things inerrancy is not: Not the reader of the text. Not the translators. Not the copyists. What is inerrant is what God said.

Yes, keep in mind that the Bible is not a textbook on Quantum Physics though Jesus Christ is the Lord over Quantum Physics.
