 * Keep A fair counterpart to Errors in the Encyclopædia Britannica that have been corrected in Wikipedia. Seriously though, maybe somebody will find one one day. You (Talk) 18:42, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)
 * Moot point. If someone finds one, they'll correct it. Therefore, there will never be anything on the page unless it lists old errors which have since been fixed (in which case, it will contain a few hundred-thousand items,and be unmanageable). -- BD2412 talk 19:24, 2005 Jun 24 (UTC)

 * No actual content. EB will never admit it "corrected Wikipedia", hence this page serves no actual purpose. JFW | T@lk  22:46, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, it serves a minor purpose of A) weak humour and B) to make the point (through some weak humour) that maintaining a public list of current mistakes within Wikipedia is futile, whereas it makes perfect sense for Britannica. I think that's an interesting distinction between Wikipedia and other encyclopedias &mdash; but others may well wish to BJAODN it ;-) &mdash; Matt Crypto  28 June 2005 11:50 (UTC)
