If.. an encyclopædia is supposed to 'organize lots-of-stuff'
(but usually with nary a Road-map to ~related--and How!?--obv. queries ... even after Intarweb) then: YOU are post- mere-Encyclopædias; believe that makes you: more Reason-able; tl;dr: Bitchin, Man! |

My guiding principle is . . .
. . to compose pages so that when I return to them in the future they include what I want to know in the form I want to see it - basically, to maximize speed of comprehension. |

If only..
[fantasy from the bowels of the dis-USA] Someone with that aim (and the capability to complete) ..would catalog the litany of daily Lies of the Orange man/boy, maybe just over the past 4 years or so, then Fewer Muricans would ever again be able to get away with, "Gosh ... I just didn't know!" [/all-hope] |

Well ...
There's this one: http://www.politifact.com/personalities/donald-trump/statements/byruling/false/ Or this one: https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/politics/trump-claims-database/ Or this one (through July): https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/06/23/opinion/trumps-lies.html Or this one (through March): https://www.buzzfeed.com/maryanngeorgantopoulos/president-trump-lie-list -- Drew |

Your application is now topping the listicle.
An impressive start; with suitable cartoons by Edward Gorey (Addams Family, etc.) ... and a few world-class ideas re distribution. Maybe presented on vellum in a coffee-table edition (mayhap signed-on-cover? by the identifiable Target-persons) of his most-petulant/inane/Vengeful specimens. (Charge Lots for this: to fund the later-on helicopter drops in the less expensive editions) LOVE the creative NYT presentation.. Why the colored cubes almost exactly match a Yuuge "Chart of the Nuclides" (all them isotopes n'such) in a corner of the kitchen. And Someone could do-Well-by-doin'-Good by creating the first Stunning display of Lies/Minute since DRT was first unleashed on an unsuspecting world. Carrion Sometimes it's the Splunge-noise ya gets when a helicopter-drop just happens to be nearby and a few tomes--via sheer magical luck --might land on an Orange toe? Are his feet tiny, too? Otpy |

Realy tough to keep editor mind set when the content is so intersting.
But, I caught this truly minor item: In the Animals section "... all reptiles, frogs lizards, snakes, ..." needs comma after frogs. It also made me think of the expression I've heard -- "There's fungus among us!" :) Alex "There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." -- Isaac Asimov |

I have added Ribosomes to the Eukaryotes page.

I think you got something backwards
Fungus page When times are good they send up fruiting bodies which are the "mushrooms" When times are good the mycelium will grow indefinitely. When there is a threatening event (such as temperature drop) or food runs out it will then fruit to produce spores to ensure survival. Writing as someone who has researched and grown them fore years. Of course, there are those subtypes that will fruit easily, so we may not notice the particular trigger, but they are not the norm. |

Thanks - I'll look into that.
