As I might have said before on here about Wikipedia, it's new and
evolving. Articles can be edited, argued about, accordingly edited and
frozen, etc..
Many also come with links, references and bibliography, so, and IOW,
when an article is cited here for example, cross-references are often
built-in.
But it's up to the intrepid student of life and truth, of course, to
click, scroll, read and research, etc.
Failing that, I guess one can always stoop to derogative commentary that
includes "retarded" and "soiled panties", and see how many dictionary
entries it makes, and under which subjects.
