Supporters contend that the Eleventh Edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica (1911) represents "the sum of human knowledge" at the beginning of the 20th century; indeed, it was advertised as such.
The edition is still often regarded as the greatest edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica, with many articles being up to 10 times the length of those in other encyclopædias.

Unlike the regular wikipedia, 1911 wikipedia would be edited only to conform with the actual printed form.
Scanned pictures from the 1911 Britannica could also be added to any articles that have pictures.
While anyone would be allowed to edit, once an article conformed to the printed edition and included any needed pictures there would be a partial lockdown of the article, although exceptions could be made for errors found later on, or if better scanned pictures are available.
