Typing "palestine" in the search is silly; go
to [[Palestine]] instead.
None of the articles named [[Palestine]] on any of the language wikis
(when linked to from [[en:Palestine]]) is "more or less a link list".
One could argue about whether they're better or worse than EB's,
but your charge is unsupportable.
Interestingly, the EB page that Ulrich links to above
*is* more or less a link list -- unlike our articles!
