In any case I thought WR was supposed to be critical of WP not Business Insider, or has Selina now widened the scope of WR?



It is obvious that BI has become just an extension of WP, and you don't seem to understand how that is a problem.


So how many WP articles has BI mirrored then?



Too many.


And your borderline between "many" and "too many" is?

If people treat Wikipedia as a real encyclopedia, then that's one too many already.

Encyclopedia Britannica is over too at least in publishing the books.

Well, it took 244 years for Encyclopedia Britannica books publishing to cease.
I wonder how long it will take for wikipedia to disappear for good.

Well who knows, if in the year 2525 a man will still be alive, and, if a woman could survive, if there's no journalism, no education, no anything, but wikipedia. rolleyes.gif
