Does any of this factor into the number of "entries" or other reported
data for Hudong and Baidu Baike? I'd like to have a better sense of
whether we're really getting an apples-to-apples comparison with
Wikipedia as an encyclopedia. It could have interesting implications,
either in terms of reconsidering how we interact as a community, or in
reconsidering whether these are really comparable sites.
