Alternatively, it's shocking how little information is actually on the Wiki, even though it's easily available from common university classes.
- bawolff 4y agoIts a general purpose encyclopedia. Why would anyone expect it to be competing with a masters student level of knowledge?
- netr0ute 4y agoThis doesn't compute, because the purpose of an encyclopedia is to have everything.
- epgui 4y agoHave you ever opened an encyclopedia? For some perspective, the Britannica, Americana, and Collier's together don't even contain 1% of what wikipedia contains.
- Terretta 4y agoAnd yet, I’d argue that 1% is more useful. Put another way, not all topics’ depth need be created equal, and arguably, Wikipedia is upside down.
- epgui 4y agoIt’s not clear to me on what basis one could make that claim, and as a subjective, empirical observation, I disagree: that has not been my impression or experience at all.
- hypertele-Xii 4y agoThat would be an omnipedia.
