I Love Wikipedia.

[swestrup]

You know Wikipedia gets better all the time. Two years ago it was barely useful as a general encyclopedia. When I looked up Ancient Rome sometime early last year it had almost nothing. Now it has hundreds of pages of useful, well written articles on the subject.

Today I was reminded of a non-LJ friend's question of "Who the heck was Ponsonby Britt?" Since the name shows up mysteriously in the credits of the Bullwinkle show. Well, Wikipedia knew. I bet I wouldn't find anything in Britanica on that subject.

I was thinking maybe my attitude toward it had turned a corner in the last year or so, but maybe Wikipedia itself did.
