What Is Encyclopedia?

What is  encyclopedia.jrank.org?

  • bulk text to generate ad revenue ("content farm") or quality encyclopedia(s)?  They claim their articles are from "four encyclopedias" and from "contributed articles".  When looking at a single article like http://encyclopedia.jrank.org/articles/pages/6741/Face-Recognition.html the content seems to be ok, this one is copied from Springers(2008) Encyclopedia of Multimedia. I see a lot of ads, but no link to the original source, the 20 references have been removed, as have the 6 cross-references. A "Figure 1" is still mentioned but not shown.

  • Answer:

    It's copied from Encyclopedia Britannica 1911, and its a pretty bad: the OCR has a lot of mistakes.
