User:R. fiend/Encyclopedia of the 20th century topics
I'm going through some reference books to see what Wikipedia is lacking. Below are topics from the Encyclopedia of the 20th Century (published, I believe, by Facts on File), that do not appear in Wikipedia. This is a single volume work, and Wikipedia is pretty good on more recent topics, so there shouldn't be all that many, but I guess there are.
