In 2006, he had a brief debate with Jimmy Wales about the future viability of Britannica.
I can only assume Mr. Wales is being ironic when he says Britannica would have a hard time attracting the kind of talent that Misplaced Pages has. Britannica has published more than a hundred Nobel Prize winners and thousands of other well-known experts and scholars. Contrary to Misplaced Pages, Britannica's contributor base is transparent and not anonymous.
