To its fans,it is a fantastic research resource - albeit one that you should use with caution; and an incredible example of what can be achieved by collaboration and cooperation over the internet.To its detractors - mostly those from the traditional world of encyclopedias and librarianship,it is barely worthy of the label "encyclopedia".
To put Wikipedia's achievements in numerical context,at the same time it was celebrating the publishing of its one millionth entry (a Hebrew article on the Kazakhstan flag) in less than four years,the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography launched its latest edition.It had taken 12 years to complete,yet contained a comparatively tiddly 55,000 biographies.It also cost some £25m to create.Wikipedia has so far been bankrolled by Wales,but the total cost so far is still around £300,000.
The current Encyclopedia Britannica has 44m words of text.Wikipedia already has more than 250m words in it.Britannica's most recent edition has 65,000 entries in print and 75,000 entries online.Wikipedia's English site has some 360,000 entries and is growing every day.

There have been no shortage of insane,over ambitious ideas on the internet.Most of them never make it further than the pub they are conceived in.Some generate hype but quickly fall flat on their face.Others survive,but prove to be minnows rather than the giants they set out to be.However,every so often,one sneaks through.
Wikipedia is one of the rare ones that made it.Even by the admission of its founder,the 38-year-old technology entrepreneur Jimmy Wales,it was a "completely insane idea":a free online encyclopedia that anyone can contribute to and anyone can edit.There is no editor,no army of proof readers and fact checkers; in fact,no full-time staff at all.It is,in other words,about as far from the traditional idea of an encyclopedia as you can get.
