The work in progress
What's new
This encyclopaedia is written in the open and grows in batches: a source is read, and eight articles change the same afternoon. What follows is every article that was added or revised, newest first, with the new ones marked. Within a day the most heavily worked article stands first, because everything done that day carries the same hour.
