The Britannica app contains 140,000 articles. Wikipedia has about 3.7 million. Many contemporary topics, like the latest in pop culture, or some current public figures, are included in Wikipedia, but missing from Britannica. For instance, the widely praised and popular TV show "Modern Family" gets lavish coverage in Wikipedia, but doesn't make the cut in Britannica

Unclear

"..., they adopt another child, a baby boy named Rexford. As the name suggests, this family represents a modern-day family,..." This reads as if "Rexford" suggests ..., but I think the sentence is trying to say that the name of the show does so. If it is the former, then it needs clarification; if it is the latter, then the sentence needs changing in placement or content. Kdammers (talk) 03:03, 7 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
