I begin to realize how much effort it took Encyclopedia makers to create their product. And they didn't have an Internet and corrective word processing programs to help them. I'm struggling with even a fraction of a fraction of that volume, a list that probably totals less than 100 entries.
Goal is essentially to have an alphabetized reference page.
But a good one involves:
Creation of content
Labeling of content
Maintenance of content
Connecting links
Navigation
Updating/Repair/Etc
... and to some extent, Memory Aid and Searchability.
Naive current target for said page: 50600, where, currently we're now on page 50577.
Debating on grouping by favorite peoples, themes, subject matter, and mood.
Perhaps all or even some combination.
Basic all peoples list?
Basic all peoples Last name first, First name last list.
List of men, following the same models?
List of women, ditto?
I suppose that'd be a Who's who ...
If I have page number links below a subject matter or person's name,
I could update the entries on subsequent pages named for numbers ...
and include notes like 50750 (includes 50600 and 50685 content) ...
MAYBE even turn old numbered pages that have been converted to hyperlink back into ordinary text ...
Then again, parenthesied updates already correct for wasted time exploring the old if I'm JUST interested in whatever narrow subject I'm reviewing ...
And keeping them open would let me review quickly and stumble upon anything ELSE that might be on that page worth reviewing ...
I was taken aback to discover they ceased actual physical printing of their sets several years ago; guess we really are steadily moving toward a paperless society.
It wasn't a surprise to see that several thousand people were required to make these collections, though. Compiling, organizing, and sharing info is time-consuming, let alone when you're trying to give an overview of practically every concrete noun word in existence:
The 2007 print version of the Britannica has 4,411 contributors, many eminent in their fields, such as Nobel laureate economist Milton Friedman, astronomer Carl Sagan, and surgeon Michael DeBakey ...
You'll think I'm making this up, but I was just thinking of a friend who had a public TV access show years ago. He would talk about how various things, especially relationships, could mess people up. He'd ask "Hey, kids ... What word begins with an 'f' and ends with the letters 'c' and 'k'?"
Oddly, a few moments before, and JUST prior to your last post here, I stumbled across the pictorial answer to that question, which was from like July 28th of 2 years ago or something ...
mmm. Now I may have to re-think my answer ...
While on the subject, slightly more serious, I am thinking of how paper preserves history. At least in conjunction with modern tech. Stumbling upon the following for instance, which had a photo date of 2019 or thereabouts, a person without much familiarity with the United States Postal Service and its pricing for stamps over the years, could be fooled into thinking that was the year this pricing change was implemented. In reality, it was almost certainly a decade or so earlier. Paper SOMETIMES preserves this kind of info, even when the venue is changed, whereas technology all by itself does not.
