Does Crowd Sourcing work?

Consider this, Wikipedia is just over 9 years old  and currently has 2.9 million articles. Contrast this with Microsoft’s Encarta at a little over 42,000 articles which was founded 16 years ago when Microsoft bought assets from the now defunct; Funk & Wagnells.

Microsoft announced yesterday that Encarta will be discontinued this year saying “People today seek and consume information in considerably different ways than in years past.”

I think thats Prima Facie evidence that Crowd Sourcing works.
