Did no one raise the possibility of having informative articles on ABA's website? They could/would then be sourced by Wikipedia authors.

- snori74 10y agoThis really is the way to go. Wikipedia is to a large extent simply a detailed 'index' to the best content available online and in paper form. As such it's a great starting place, but the authoritative material should be on reputable sites - and creating that material can be carefully curated by credentialed experts. If it's done well then links from Wikipedia will come, or can be added, and are unlikely to be deleted.
- ethbro 10y agoMy original point was that I believe Wikipedia has a strong bias towards the best content available online and that they're weaker when potential content is only available in paper form. Which I suppose speaks to the ongoing OCR / paper -> digital backend effort to mass digitize legacy books and present them in a accessible manner. I'll admit I'm basing this opinion only on my usage of Wikipedia and noting some glaring gaps or lack of depth in niche historical articles.
