Seriously, by a number of quite reasonable standards
Wikipedia already
_has_ become the best encyclopedia in the world. It's got more breadth,
it's cheaper, its IP rights are more flexible, and it's probably more
widely used than the old standbys like Britannica or World Book. It even
has comparable levels of accuracy. I'm very, very happy with what
Wikipedia has made of itself and have no desire to throw out any bits of
baby on account of the bathwater that's still mixed in with it.
I bought EB on CD. Dunno if I didn't get the full edition or
something, but it doesn't come close to WP. I never use it, except for
idle speculation about where they get their ego from.
