Line 257: Any Sherlock Holmes fanatic will recall the appearance in the story "The Red-headed League" of the Encyclopædia Britannica. The text of this story indicates that the action takes place in 1890. The publication of the Britannica's 9th edition was completed in 1889. The story itself was first published in August 1891. Therefore, the story surely refers to the ninth edition. Just in case anyone else wanted to know. -- [[User:67.174.231.120\|67.174.231.120]] 18:40, 16 November 2005 (UTC) == Question on a sentence in the lead == "Furthermore, recent encyclopedias are far more widely available, and are designed to reflect wider use, in contrast to earlier scholarly versions." - I have no idea what this is supposed to mean? Can someone explain it to me? Would anyone mind if I remove it? - [[User:Haukurth\|Haukur Þorgeirsson]] 22:12, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
