- Comment on Jimmy Wales(Wikipedia's founder) Says Wikipedia Could Use AI. Editors Call It the 'Antithesis of Wikipedia' 2 months ago:
I agree. I grew up using hard copy encyclopedias at libraries. It is incredible now to have all of this at are 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.
