Talk: 1911 Encyclopędia Britannica
From open-encyclopedia.com - the free encyclopedia.
I can't find anything about "lazy negroes", etc. in the encyclopedia. I think we should see some proof first.
- I've got most of the volumes of EB11 in print. I just had a quick look at the US Civil War article but didn't see any mention of negroes at all. However looking at http://94.1911encyclopedia.org/H/HA/HAITI.htm it says "The people are almost entirely pure-blooded negroes, the mulattoes, who form about 10% of the population, being a rapidly diminishing and much-hated class. The negroes are a kindly, hospitable people, but ignorant and lazy. " Mintguy (T) 21:12, 21 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Just how much material in an article with a boilerplate link to the 1911 Encyclopaedia Britannica must be rewritten or removed before that link can be removed? -- llywrch 20:23, 30 Nov 2003 (UTC)
Isn't this current naming going to be very difficult to Search for? RickK 04:59, 15 Jan 2004 (UTC)
Advance notice of intent to move this back to 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica. This article is not currently at the normal English spelling of the title and as the ad shows, it's also not the title used for the work by its vendor. Objections anyone? Jamesday 22:44, 18 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- I have an original copy right here and it does say "Encyclopędia". --Wik 22:47, Apr 18, 2004 (UTC)
- I also object. Look at the spelling on http://www.britannica.com/ Mintguy (T)
- I used to have fun sometimes asking people to spell "encyclopędia britannica". You could tell immediately by the look they gave whether they had previously noticed the old-style spelling or not. The main entry should have the spelling used then and still used now. jallan 22:02, 5 May 2004 (UTC)
Wikipedia content
- "Much content from the 1911 edition has been incorporated into Wikipedia; the count as of 26 September 2004 was about 2200 articles."
- 2200 is about the number of pages in Category:1911 Britannica, but there are more which have been removed from the category as more info from other sources has been added.
