Hi.
Yesterday I did this little comparison that Jimmy Wales asked me to
do, to see how large our encyclopedia would be if we covered the same
topics as Columbia.
Among other things, the result revealed that about half of their
article titles do not have corresponding titles on Wikipedia.
My question is whether we want to do something about this (create
redirects). I would like to dump the huge list of article titles we
don't have onto some page in the Wikipedia namespace, and have our
bulk of volunteers work through them and create redirects to the
relevant pages, or mark some as "we *really* don't have something
about this topic" if applicable.
Would such an effort be warranted?
I once created a "list of encyclopedia topics", with ~100 000 entries
(collected from various sources), as about 30 pages, and all topics as
[[links]]. However, these pages were deactivated/removed, as displaying
them was very slow indeed.
I'm all for such a list with [[links]], but you'll probably have to
stretch them on a lot of pages (say, 100).
