Could someone hazard a guess on which areas the Wikipedia is strong in, and which areas it is still lacking? FN
Strong: detailed, accurate, advanced science articles (but see below). US geography, cities, etc. are amazingly well-covered, beyond the base Rambot articles (which themselves are a great resource). Good coverage of current events, popular culture.
Weak: Major companies, primarily those in specialized fields, often completely lack articles. Many math and science articles are incomprehensible to most laypeople. Locations and events in non-English-speaking countries tend to have very little information, or it's badly out of date (in some cases, by a few centuries). Subjects from across all topics not covered due to "non-notability".
