Citizendium VS EOL.org

> the only conclusion is that the system is flawed. There's a need for a fundamental change in approach There are attempts of creating more "professional" electronic encyclopedia like Citizendium [1] and Scholarpedia [2] but it seems that such tasks are rather hard since Wikipedia solidified its position already, despite flaws [1] - https://en.citizendium.org/ [2] - http://www.scholarpedia.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

Larry Sanger was more or less evicted from Wikipedia because his viewpoints and personality conflicted with virtually everyone else, which was, as it still is, made of a broad group of people across the globe.

I would like to ask help for a script I made that scrapes data from a biodiversity database called EOL (eol.org). The code takes in a list of scientific names read from a CSV file, and searches EOL, grabs the info., then prints out a table of the collated data on a terminal. It works sort of well, but my concern is speed. Source: about 2 years ago
