Hoi, When you talk about the wikipedia, it indicate in my appreciation this authoritative instance. There is no such thing as *the* authoritative Wikipedia. While many consider the English Wikipedia as such, it is very much the German Wikipedia that pioneered the use of Flagged Revision, it is the Serbian and Chinese Wikipedias who show the way on support for multiple scripts.
There is Wikipedia, the multi lingual project that provides encyclopaedic information. Thanks, GerardM

Hello, Could someone explain to me why "Wikipedia" is without definite article? In English you say "the Britannica", so why not "the Wikipedia"? I am wondering that also in German Wikipedians and non-Wikipedians tend to drop the article, although we say "der Brockhaus". Kind regards Ziko
