Yes, except all the information you seek is inside the great Wikipedia.

Depends on the subject matter. The less popular subject matters still should be read in books.

Depends on how “popular” of a subject it is. There are plenty of subjects on Wikipedia that are not popular enough to have ever been published about in print.

I guess that’s the other side of the coin. I’m a Mesoamerican history nerd and a lot of the articles on Wiki are sparse at best on the subject or outright misinformation (repeated misinformation I see almost verbatim copied and pasted). I see your point though, without an easy way of archiving information a lot of subjects would and have fallen through the cracks in humanity’s notice.

I don’t know about all the information, but I’d rather read Wikipedia about a historical event than watch a YouTube about it

Create post

Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

  • The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author’s website, for instance).
  • The comic must be a complete story.
  • If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
  • You may post comics from others or your own.
  • If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
  • The comic can be in any language, but if it’s not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post’s ‘body’ field (note: you don’t need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
  • Politeness.
  • Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.
