- oj-lappi 9y agoThere is research comparing wikipedia to encyclopaedia britannica which concludes that wikipedia has more "left code words" per article than EB. However a) this research is very US-centric b) the paper also concludes that code word per word is pretty much equal between the two, wikipedia just has longer articles 1. https://hbswk.hbs.edu/item/do-experts-or-collective-intelligence-write-with-more-bias-evidence-from-encyclopdia-britannica-and-wikipedia https://hbswk.hbs.edu/item/do-experts-or-collective-intellig...
