This project page was started to identify and collect a list of articles which are more comprehensive than their Encyclopædia Britannica counterparts. Comparisons include: variety of relevant sources, better citations (footnoting or inline citations), article length, facts that are absent in the EB, and article neutrality.
In other words, can Wikipedia's process actually produce better articles than the EB, or is EB editor
Robert McHenry right and we are unable to produce a better researched, better sourced and more comprehensive article?
Candidate articles
Please provide a reason why it is more comprehensive, and only include featured articles
Pioneer Zephyr -
WP:FA, don't find it in a search at the EB site (they have an article for the railroad that owned and operated the train, but I don't see one for the train itself, even searching for "Zephyr" doesn't come up with an individual article).
Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius -
http://www.britannica.com/search?query=Uqbar comes a cropper, which may mean they don't even mention this notable story by Borges (on which we have an entire FA). Ditto for Uqbara/Ukbar/Ukbara, so they apparently don't even have anything on the geographical places alluded to in the title, on which we also have good (though not FA) articles.
