 Encyclopedia (also encyclopaedia, cyclopedia or cyclopaedia) is a large [book](book.md) (or a series of books) providing structured summary of wide knowledge in one or many fields (such as [mathematics](math.md), [history](history.md), engineering, general knowledge etc.), usually in a form of alphabetically ordered articles on terms used in the field. Paper encyclopedias are often printed in several volumes as their scope is too great for a single book. The largest and most famous encyclopedia to date is the online [Wikipedia](wikipedia.md) created by volunteers in [free culture](free_culture.md) spirit, however Wikipedia suffers from significant issues such as [censorship](censorship.md), high political propaganda and low quality of writing, therefore it is important to also stay interested in other encyclopedias such as Britannica or [LRS wiki](lrs_wiki.md).
 
-**Similar terms:** encyclopedias are similar to **dictionaries** and these works often overlap (many encyclopedias call themselves dictionaries); the main difference is that a dictionary focuses on providing linguistic information about the terms and has shorter term definitions, while encyclopedias has longer articles (which however limits the total number of terms it may contain). Encyclopedias are also a subset of so called **reference works**, i.e. works that serve to provide [information](information.md) and reference to it (other kinds of reference works being e.g. world maps or [API](api.md) references). A **universal/general** encyclopedia is one that focuses on human knowledge at wide, as opposed to an encyclopedia that focuses on one specific field of knowledge. **Compendium** can be seen almost as a synonym to encyclopedia, with encyclopedias perhaps usually being more general and extensive.
