Have a look at [[Club skifield]] (which I wrote). Follow the external link. Is it really worth our (my) while attempting to write something that surpasses the link in terms of quality, depth, comprehensiveness of coverage? Practically speaking, who is going to be reading Wikipedia that doesn't have access to the net, but needs that information?
Wikipedia is not a web directory. There are (or were, at least) people who condense Wikipedia on CD/DVDs for use by those who don't have (reliable) internet access. This sort of distribution is a fundamental objective of the project. Suggesting that we don't need to include information because it's available elsewhere on the web suggests a misunderstanding of the project.
