507:"The Dreadnought Project augments rather than replaces the information available on Knowledge (XXG). While Knowledge (XXG) has many well-crafted articles on the ships and navies of this period, its policies bar editors from using primary source materials and from doing original research. By contrast, our articles exploit our large and growing library (currently well over 50,000 pages) of original documents, affording a natural opportunity to advance public knowledge by bringing more information out of the world of archives and closed collections and into a place where a Google search can find it. Unlike paper publications, we are not hindered by page counts and we can freely go back and fix errors. We find this a rewarding way to explore history."

However the PAW will differ from

The larger audience at this event showed great interest, with many questions being asked. Dr
Peacock suggested that the group needed to become more organised, with members agreeing to take on specific responsibilities for roles such as administering the wiki, and the associated Flickr account.
