I would never cancel my subscription to Britannica, because it's quite a comforting read; they've made their best effort and the article is done. But yeah, the world definitely benefits from multiple sources of information and multiple processes to obtaining that information. Best, Pete.

You'll be able to cancel your Britannica subscription and ignore Wikipedia. Of course, I think the world benefits from having multiple sources of information. It's likely that, in 50 years, there will be a dozen credible free general encyclopedias online. In the future, if you want just one giant, free, reliable resource, CZ will be it.
