One “very senior Wikimedian,” we are told, “came to think of the project as a ‘city built by Asperger’s.’ ”

    It’s the biggest repository of human knowledge ever

    Internet Archive and Libgen are incomparably bigger.

      The reason I down voted you is you’re ignoring duplicative information…

      And mainly because instead of asking questions to learn, you just went off with a halfbaked thought and presented it like it was fact.

      Do better

        I certainly ignored “duplicative information”, because I don’t even know what those words are supposed to mean.

        You haven’t asked any questions either, you made up a claim and are now seemingly very insulted when an obvious correction is pointed out. Those two sites contain hundreds upon hundreds of thosands of entire books, entire encyclopedias, and god knows how many scientific articles, inevitably way more stuff than Wikipedia. Every Wikipedia editor should have them open in a tab while editing ready to verify the existing sources and look for new ones.
