We want our articles to be correct before they are published. We stand behind our process, based on trained editors and fact checkers, more than 4,000 experts, and sound writing. Our model works well. Wikipedia is very different, but nothing in their model suggests we should change what we do.

The new version of Britannica Online, set to debut this summer, will emulate the Wikipedia concept by letting subscribers make changes to any article, ranging from minor edits to near-total rewrites.
"I don't believe it's accurate to say that Britannica & Wikipedia are becoming more similar” scoffed Britannica President Jorge Cauz
