Comparison between the H2G2 and Wikipedia

Wikipedia H2G2
As an informational guide, Wikipedia is better, because everything can get updated on the fly. However, it is much easier to put offensive or wildly inaccurate places there. material anywhere. The H2G2, on the other hand, is bureaucratic in how hard it is to get anything changed, much less added.
Given Wikipedia's all-articles-are-official-except-user-pages nature, and the fact that a discussion pages, without exception, is in effect one big article which people add bits to (much like main articles, except that people tend to sign their names), it has a sort of ... official air which doesn't allow the possibility of communities very well. Given the H2G2's message board/thread nature in the discussions, and the fact that there's a distinction between "personal" and "official" pages, there's been a number of communities formed.

Graphics

It says something about 3D computer graphics that before the image in Sniper rifle was fully loaded (i.e. before the guy's skin was visible), I momentarily thought it was an image from a game or something.
