False alternative. Two things better than a Wikipedia article on cipher modes:
1. Britannica choosing not to have an article on it since they can't do it justice.
2. Papers or books (you know, things that cost money and real effort to develop) on cryptography that give much more thorough, accurate, and unbiased information.

Not sure I follow. Britannica has in fact chosen not to cover these topics. There are in fact books and papers on block cipher modes. And there's a Wikipedia article that attempts to serve as a survey to the existing literature on block ciphers.
