REFERENCE+Encyclopedia

Wikipedia says,

An **encyclopedia** (also spelled **encyclopaedia** or **encyclopædia**) is a type of [|reference work], a [|compendium] holding a summary of [|information] from either all branches of [|knowledge] or a particular branch of knowledge. [|[1]] Encyclopedias are divided into [|articles] or entries, which are usually accessed alphabetically by article name. [|[2]] Encyclopedia entries are longer and more detailed than those in most [|dictionaries]. [|[2]] Generally speaking, unlike dictionary entries, which focus on [|linguistic] information about [|words], encyclopedia articles focus on factual information to cover the thing or concept for which the article name stands.
