People made a living selling encyclopedias door to door. Just saying.

And encyclopedias before wikipedia had a whole pile of wrong garbage information in them. Because they were compiled quickly by people with little knowledge about the field they were compiling the information for.

Wikipedia is garbage as well when it comes to topic from third class country

Might be. Classic Encyclopedias were worse. Don't know if you ever used one and looked up stuff for a subject where you have above average expertise. They only contained very surface-level information, rarely more than a paragraph or two, and what they contained was riddled with errors.
