There have been a few times here at FR when I have linked to a zoology article at Wikipedia, usually when someone asks me something like "what is a stoat?" Beyond that, I haven't used it much at all and tend to go to 'more definitive' sites when I'm linking information here.
In looking around online for Wikipedia alternatives, I'm noticing that at
Encyclopedia - Britannica Online Encyclopedia
which is a combination free / paid site, they have on their homepage banners encouraging people to subscribe the phrases "Information you can trust" and "Safe Environment" very prominently placed.
I'm wondering if these phrases might be in response to the competition from the free Wikipedia? Sounds like it might be.
It seems that Microsoft is no longer offering their Encarta encyclopedia online or as their "Reference Library" disks anymore. Perhaps Wikipedia drove them out of business?
