[Foundation-l] Has Wikipedia changed since 2005?

[Wjhonson]

I dont understand how information about pornography, computer games, tv shows... is not educational.
If I want to know whether Berle Ives was ever a guest star on Bewitched, why wouldn't we fulfill a request like that in project ?

 Who exactly is the audience if not the masses?
I don't know what Nathan means here.  I believe that an encyclopedia should 
e of popular interest, and be presented in a style that is appealing, even 
ntertaining.  However an encyclopedia should not be filled with trivia. 
ikipedia, as we all know, is unduly biased to computer games, TV shows, 
ornography and much other material that is not educational or encyclopedic.
