h2g2 and Wikipedia by Martin Belam
This article discusses the similarities and differences between Wikipedia, and the BBC owned Douglas Adams inspired h2g2, which pre-dates it. Both set out to create a user-generated guide to life, the universe, and everything. The article also looks at the discussion when Jimmy Wales and Angela Beesley from Wikipedia visited the BBC at Bush House.
