“ At least 300 missing articles, with one big block under letter E still mainly absent. There are many other individual cases of articles missing, apparently caused by human error. Some articles are posted incomplete, with a big chunk of text dropped. Very many of the articles have had the references section clipped off. This is a big loss from a scholarly point of view, and naturally makes the CE look less convincing as a source. Greek and Hebrew text has been romanised, and should be replaced in the original form. Editorial interventions of an arbitrary kind can be found quite easily. ”

“ Despite this variety of sources, it cannot be said that a complete version is available anywhere as proofread text.
