Inaccurate, not targeted at young teenagers. Mandel 16:52, July 10, 2005 (UTC)
The edit by 84.172.224.145 seems to suggest that the 20th c. edition is a successor to the 19th c. edition. Is there evidence to that effect? To say that it "carried over some of the old material" begs the question, as in some sense that could be said of any edition of any encyclopedia, especially at this time when copyright laws were far less restrictive.
Certainly there are major questions of organizational continuity with other encyclopedias - lots of transfers and bankruptcies - for example, the Britannica. At some level, it's a brand, not an enterprise. However, the content there was clearly more continuous, and there wasn't a 45 year gap. flux.books 16:44, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
I'm an American and have accesss to Britannica online and the print version and both use British spelling, also. It's domain is .com, not .co.uk and it spells certain words like meter as metre. Do versions in the UK say "British English" on them? Britannica is run in Chicago but I think they try to pretend they're British because of the name of the work.-- Primetime 14:36, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
The Sutter thing does not go very well with the rest of the article but I found it interesting when I learnt about it, so I WP:BOLD. Perhaps you can sandwich it with "The encyclopedia was useful for the pioneers... as shown in the case of Sutter...". -- 84.20.17.84 12:57, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
Is the old Encyclopedia Americana before 1923 in the public domain? Wooyi Talk to me? 22:58, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
Image:GrolierBldg.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
