B5 makes it into an encyclopedia

[Oatley1]

I was searching the Wikipedia open content encycopedia for some stuff for a report I am writing, when I stumbled on this entry...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babylon_5

Who would have thought B5 would have an entry in an encyclopedia...

It's open content -- of course B5'll be in there. Still cool, though.

Yeah, let's look for Babylon 5 to get in a commercial encyclopaedia.
Wikipedia even has an entry for All your base are belong to us!
I have no doubts that JMS and maybe Babylon 5 will be included in encyclopedias in the future. Golly, Wikipedia might just be the standard encyclopedia of the future.

BTW one of my grand-uncles was in the encyclopaedia more than 10 years ago, while he still was working at the university.

A search in Encyclopedia Britannica for babylon 5 gave me among other things Harlan Ellison where at least babylon 5 was mentioned.

There are also anoter article there about the "RADIO: The Boom of Science-Fiction TV" that talks about Start Trek, Babylon 5 and X-files.

Neat. And I see that there are quite a lot of B5 covered in wikipedia. Not bad at all.
