There is research comparing wikipedia to encyclopaedia britannica which concludes that wikipedia has more "left code words" per article than EB.

However a) this research is very US-centric b) the paper also concludes that code word per word is pretty much equal between the two, wikipedia just has longer articles

I tend to feel that this research is fundamentally bullshit.
