I'm even more encouraged than ever that the 'pedia can earn a reputation as an authoratative source after having skimmed through http://1911encyclopedia.org/. Not only is this particular Web site's content a junk pile (scanning errors and sloppy cataloging), but it reminded me that some of the 1911's entries are surprisingly thin.
Well these are a bit harsh words. At least it is a valuable source of open content we can use. And to use it means to integrate edit them and integrate the content which is still valuable. For various issues the 1911 edition is valuable. It will help to come up with let's say 10'000 additional entries more easily.
