Wikipedia VS Encyclopaedia Brittannica

I am going to share something about Encyclopaedia Brittannica here.

a)Brief history of the Encyclopaedia Brittannica
-The first edition has been published since 1768 in Edinburgh, Scoltland.
-It was edited by the cheif editor William Smellie.
-It was written by a staff of about 100 full time editors and more than 4,000 experts contributors.
-There are totally 15 editions through out the ages.
-It was mainly written in the oldest English-language.
-The ownership of it have switched time by time.
-In order to reduce the production cost and price, it has produce the electronic versions on CD-ROM, VCD,DVD and even the world wild web.

b)Key features of Encyclopaedia Brittannica
According to wikipedia
-It adopted a "continuous revision" policy in 1933.
-It was continually reprinted and the articles were updated on a regular schedule. ---It retained its reputation as a reliable research tool, although there are many people criticise its resources.

According to Encyclopaedia Brittannica
-Its length and scope has increased since the time when the second edition of it has appeared.
-It was originally a dictionary of art and science.
-The scripts were reprinted and renewed one after another.

c)Encyclopaedia Brittannica is more useful in this search.
It is more well-organised and clean in the web page framing.The information is more reliable than Wikipedia as it is renewed by group of people regularly.

d)We should not trust this encyclopaedia 100%, because there is seldom a thing in the world that is absolutely correct. We should think independently before we receive some information.
