I assume there
will be similar changes in many geographical entries.
there will be changes in nearly everything in the encyclopedia that
wasn't historical already, and in some of the historical entries as
well (people discover new facts about old events/characters). It's
simply not a valuable resource *on its own*, and I'd be disappointed
to see the entries scripted into wikipedia. The entries all need a
very diligent or expert person to go over them to see that they are
still accurate.
I'm definitely with KQ here. Not only do many of the articles
lack a lot of important research of the past decades, but they
tend to be pretty blatantly Anglo-centric, and written from a
point of view that just isn't considered up to academic standards
these days.
One of the first things I did was to look at the articles on
playing cards and poker; It's surprising how much of the pre-1911
history in those fields is just plain wrong.
It's a great resource, and I've made use of it, but it took two
days of work just to make appropriate article /titles/ for the "A"
volume, much less bring the articles themselves up to snuff.
