So you only love history that you have performed a search for? Or you don't really love history in general, just history when it's presented in a certain way, which precludes history presented by Wikipedia? Do you find that you don't like a great many other history posts? I'd assume that you don't like a great many if you really don't like history as presented by Wikipedia. I wonder what kind of history you do like?

Sorry to keep this going, but it really does make me curious how you "love history" but don't like it when it comes in the form of a Wiki entry. I guess because it seems disingenuous or irrational to hold those two positions at the same time.

Learning about history seem to me to be a ongoing process of accumulating bits and pieces. Like assembling a puzzle that you can never complete and which you don't have all the pieces for, but reveals a fascinating fragmented picture. Reading books, essays, primary documents and short factual entries all compound to from a picture in which to explain where we come from and where we are going.
