    You know what would improve Wikipedia? A “search this page” option.

    I was looking to see if the formation (imposing) of Pakistan and India was around 1918 along with all those other great Treaty of Versailles decisions like Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia.

    I gave up. With long articles, we need a search within the article.

    Speaking about the app. I don’t know about the website because all Wikipedia opens the app. I can’t even go there deliberately in a browser.

      Oh, lame, it asks which one I want to use on my phone. Their app is okay, but there’s some rough spots still. It also doesn’t help that you have to read multiple articles in order to get a full picture, since they split off the history of the British Raj from the overview.

      The Treaty of Versailles shook it up a bit and there were various revolutions that softened British rule, but the Brits were there until the 40s and formed Pakistan on their way out.
