If I can offer one comment on the "worth" of having a Wikipedia
article on a topic, it's that for your obscure 19th century railroad
companies, Wikipedia might be the *only* readily accessible source on
that topic. That is, for someone without access to a library, all
their info might come from Wikipedia. For Pokemon, the reverse is the
case - almost everything in our articles is likely to have come from
the internet, if it was sourced at all.
