⏭️The difference is that all the nearly 300 languages versions of Wikipedia are Encyclopaedias, but not all encyclopaedias are Wikipedia.
⏭️Wikipedia is a free encyclopaedia on the internet that is written and maintained by volunteers and which aims to have a neutral point of view. It is a general reference work that aims to make the sum of all knowledge freely available to all. Other Encyclopaedias exist that differ from Wikipedia in every one of these respects:
⏭️Not all encyclopaedias are free, some only exist in printed book form or by subscription. In the 1990s Encarta was an Encyclopaedia one could buy on CD.
♠️Not all encyclopaedias are on the Internet, indeed Encyclopaedias existed for more than a century before the Internet.
⏭️Some Encyclopaedias are or were written and maintained by paid staff rather than volunteers.
Not all Encyclopaedias have or even aspire to have a neutral point of view. Currently there are encyclopaedias available in China which cover subjects such as Falun Gong and the Tiananmen Square massacre[1] in ways that the Chinese government approves. Wikipedia as a not for profit can afford to cover subjects in ways that sometimes lead to it being banned in China and other censorious countries.
⏭️Wikipedia’s aim is to make the sum of all knowledge freely available to all. Other encyclopaedias often have more specific objectives and cover narrower fields such as “birds in the UK” or Medicine.
