I think in fact that the headline is misleading. This

a case of Britannica taking on Wikipedia. It is more like they
may have seen Veropedia in their rear view mirror, and gotten
scared. A peer reviewed study that unfavorably compared
Britannica with Veropedia in terms of timeliness, scope and
accuracy would be quite devastating to Britannica, since
Veropedia also vets its contents.
Was that before or after Veropedia dropped off the face of the planet, the
company that runs it was administratively dissolved by the state, and the
founder was spotted begging Obama for government handouts?
