Space has little to do with it. Wikipedia is meant to be a reliable compendium of knowledge, and it can succeed only to the extent that it contains easily verified information. Obscure topics will of course not have much in the way of verifiable information available.
- protomyth 10y agoHow much research is too much for "easily verified" information?
- tptacek 10y agoIf you have to do original research to justify a topic's inclusion, you're outside the charter of the encyclopedia. The only "research" Wikipedia accepts are direct citations to reliable sources.
- protomyth 10y agoI was more thinking of finding the citations as opposed to research in the discovery of new knowledge sense.
