It helped that wiki took all the info from the CIA factbook because its not copyrighted (im referring to the Register article)

The Register had an interesting piece yesterday about the growth in the wiki project’s authority.

We link to it a lot because it’s open to all. It also tends to aggregate local knowledge in a way traditional encyclopedia can’t match.

interesting times.
