==Caveats and disclaimer==

We conclude with a few caveats.  The current totals are progressive and may change significantly (both absolutely as counts and relatively as percentages) as the project continues.  In particular, there has been significant bias early on in the project toward reviewing categories with few articles, and this may have an impact on the relative numbers of articles in each classification.  It is difficult to assess how this bias (and other biases that may become apparent) may change the above statistics as time goes on.  

Another misleading factor in the above numbers is that many articles that are '''more complete''' or '''adequate''' may have been edited slightly during processing, and hence these numbers are likely to ''underestimate'' the impact of PlanetMath on the Wikipedia.  Another measure (still probably an underestimate) is the numbers of articles copying or citing PlanetMath content, given in Table 1, but this reflects only processed articles.

Finally, a disclaimer.  This page is not intended to demonstrate that either of the sites is doing better or worse than the other; any conclusions you make one way or another are your own!  Hopefully, however, these statistics will help to illuminate the status of both Wikipedia and PlanetMath, and the relationship between them, and to further encourage both.
