I agree. I grew up using hard copy encyclopedias at libraries. It is incredible now to have all of this at our fingertips at home.
Can you give an example of an article with an error that you tried to correct?
This was 6 years ago so I cannot recall precisely which pages. However, I just skimmed over about 15 pages that I thought would be riddled with errors. To my surprise, I only found one instance where there was a ‘citation needed’ mark and could find no major errors…maybe a few little splitting hairs examples but nothing serious.
So, it appears that improvements have been made over the past 6 years. On the other hand, I only looked over roughly 15 pages.
Probably the same caution would be true for any encyclopedia. Namely, these can be pretty good starting points but not for serious scholarly research.
My self and others in this field tried for about 6 months to no avail. We gave up…they didn’t want to hear it.
I have studied academic biblical scholarship for over 30 years. All of Wikipedia’s biblical pages are riddled with errors. IMO, Wikipedia is a decent starting point but that would be it.
Thankfully, there’s NASA’s Artemis program that began in 2017: https://www.nasa.gov/humans-in-space/artemis/
He had a long life. Good for him.
This doesn’t belong in this community (i.e. Technology). Next time post this in Ask Beehaw or Chat. Thanks.
I’m in the exact same boat as you.
…no mention of iOS 26’s new call screening feature - which asks unknown callers for their name and purpose of the call and displays this on the screen before your phone starts to ring.
Nice! Thanks for pointing this out!
…money isn’t the root of all evil…
That’s because it isn’t…to explain, many people misquote a verse from the biblical texts.
1 Timothy 6:10: “For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, and in their eagerness to be rich some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pains.”
This is such an incredibly important message for us to understand. Thank you for bringing it to our attention. I can only hope that more and more people learn this.
Thanks. I appreciate the info and effort.

I believe you meant ‘data brokers’.
Yes, of course they are!
