I find Wikipedia a great data base giving information which no other encyclopedia would give.
I do my bit when somebody tries to mutilate (not edit) an article by, for instance, deleting whole paragraphs or links just because he/she does not like it.

Mount Whymper is a 2,845-metre-high (9,334 ft) mountain located in the
Canadian Rockies in the Canadian province of
British Columbia . Located in the
Vermilion Pass in
Kootenay National Park , it is named after
Edward Whymper , who, along with four guides (Joseph Bossoney,
Christian Kaufmann ,
Christian Klucker , and Joseph Pollinger), was the first to climb the mountain in 1910. Mount Whymper is composed of
sedimentary rock laid down during the
Precambrian to
Jurassic periods as part of the
Laramide orogeny . This panoramic photograph shows the southeastern aspect of Mount Whymper, as seen from the Stanley Glacier Trail, with Stanley Valley in the foreground.
