Because Gamerpedia is an ongoing work to which, in principle, anybody can contribute, it differs from a paper-based reference source in important ways. In particular, older articles tend to be more comprehensive and balanced, while newer articles more frequently contain significant misinformation or [[vandal]]ism. Users need to be aware of this to obtain valid information and avoid misinformation that has been recently added and not yet removed ({{Wp|Wikipedia:Researching with Wikipedia|Wikipedia's article on Researching}} can come in useful here; most of the advice listed for their own site also applies to Gamerpedia and other similar projects). However, unlike a paper reference source, Gamerpedia is continually updated, with the creation or updating of articles on topical events within seconds, minutes or hours, rather than months or years for printed encyclopedias.</blockquote> | Because Gamerpedia is an ongoing work to which, in principle, anybody can contribute, it differs from a paper-based reference source in important ways.
