I recently came across this page, on another wiki, where they compare
themselves to Wikipedia.
Interesting or not? What good points do they make?

Does anyone else know of any other "comparison" essays out there?

Todays New Scientist (vol 203 no 2718 page 20/21) has an interesting article
on the veracity of online medical information; with several somewhat
inconsistent references to wikipedia.
It admits that several studies have found us "almost entirely free of
factual errors", though does criticise us fo
Why couldn't a person simply scan userspace using all sorts of searches on
"the" and "and" and so on, and simply repost the entire contents with deep
links to an external indexed page?
No indexing and then allowing internal searches anyway seems like hiding an
elephant behind a bucket.
Actually bigipedia.org exists (it's a wiki running MediaWiki, consisting
only of Main Page and Talk:Main Page as of right now). I think a bunch

While the future isn't yet known, at present internal search is only
accessible as a specialist "wikipedia search engine".
For better or worse it's like any forum search; in that there is no major

similar as a routine port of

An electron is not matter. Its a subatomic particle and constituent of
matter. It cannot be crushed, because its not in the scale of objects
to which crushing (weight force / relative mass) apply. It ca
