Used to do this with print encyclopedias, it’s just fun that everyone now does it with wiki.

But the problem with Wiki is that you take your chances.

Wiki is not always objective or accurate, as the old Americana and Brittanica encyclopedias used to be. There are a lot of vanity bios as well. I always look for original sources used and go directly there a lot of the time.

I had a set of Americanas in1962 and kept them for a long time; used them heavily, but they could get dated quickly in some subjects.
