cur prev 12:5812:58, 21 December 2024 Polygnotus talk contribs 128,988 bytes −38 bit of digging and I think this number comes from https://www.britannica.com/topic/Encyclopaedia-Britannica-English-language-reference-work/Britannica-in-the-digital-era but that does not say that the EB is maintained by those contributing authors, just that they contributed to the 15th edition, so this is misleading. undo
cur prev 12:5212:52, 21 December 2024 Polygnotus talk contribs 129,026 bytes +6 The encyclopaedia is maintained by about 100 full-time editors? I really doubt that. And "The encyclopaedia is maintained by ... more than 4,000 contributors." is a weird way to phrase that, I don't think contributors maintain the encyclopedia, they just contribute to an article. And I don't think EB makes enough money to pay for 100 fulltime staff. undo
