I've carefully studied all three definitions of "scale" my dictionary offers up, and come to the conclusion that this sentence either means absolutely nothing ("It is big because it is big"), or something really strange ("Wikipedia grew because of its plate-like skin coverings").
- HDMI_Cable 6y agoSorry, that was a bit unclear on my part. I was alluding to scale as in Wikipedia's massive pool of available editors being able to publish more content than competitors, thereby driving more traffic. (But of course, we all know that Wikipedia is run by the lizard people with the aforementioned plate-like skin coverings.)
- Kim_Bruning 6y agoSo how did wikipedia get those editors? But maybe that's a trick question! Rather: What does Wikipedia consider to be its pool of editors?
