A review by David Lindsay (a Georgetown student, booooo!) reviewed FAC and Wiki's FAs. Surprise, surprise, Literature was not reviewed in the process. Some of the results might amuse you.

I emailed the dear chap to point out two things: 1) he should have done the core topics (science, history, literature, philosophy/religion, etc) that have comparable entries in Britannica or the such and 2) that not all FAs are the same.

But yes, I am sure that people here will have a lot of lovely things to say.
