### Curation Rationale

"Wikipedia is a wonderful resources however it could be considered too sparse as there are many articles that are not important for the common user..."

> The abundance of less significant or obscure topics can also contribute to the perceived sparsity. While Wikipedia's commitment to covering even niche subjects is commendable, it might be overwhelming for casual users seeking concise and essential information. For instance, niche historical events, minor fictional characters, or obscure scientific theories might exist as standalone articles, but their relevance to the everyday reader could be questioned. - *ChatGPT*
