Must be nice, in China we only have the poorly formatted, lack-of-citation garbage that is Baidu Baike https://baike.baidu.com/ .
The "sorting algorithm" article: https://baike.baidu.com/item/%E6%8E%92%E5%BA%8F%E7%AE%97%E6%B3%95/5399605 only have 3 citations: none of which are the original papers and none of which have any links. I tried searching these "citations" and found absolutely nothing...
Similarly, the article for "Amsterdam" contains almost no citation beyond the first paragraph https://baike.baidu.com/item/%E9%98%BF%E5%A7%86%E6%96%AF%E7%89%B9%E4%B8%B9/814
Just imagine how bad it would be for more obscure concepts.
