In meteorology, vorticity often refers to a measurement of the spin of horizontally flowing air about a vertical axis.

It would be interesting to see if there were any references to the St. Valentines Day Massacre, Al Capone or the recently-repealed Prohibition.
Prohibition got pages earlier, but nothing on the other two. The entry for mafia is brief.

Philippe Pétain’s entry will be funny because he’s an unalloyed hero at this point. He’s going to get talked way up.

Winston Churchill is “in the wilderness” at this time. If his entry is long enough, it will be interesting.

Industrial Workers of the World

Anarchists

Al Capone

The Titanic

The coverage of astronomy so far is weird. No entry for stars? Try the entries “astronomy”, “nebula”, “Edwin Hubble”, and maybe “(The Great Nebula in) Andromeda”.
First I AM BAD AT ENCYCLOPEDIAS
Stars



Astronomy was covered earlier, and there's no entry for Hubble or Andromeda nebula, but here's the general nebula article


"spiral nebula"


Also cluster

They went overboard with the roads and rivers. Even the Great Wall makes an appearance.

I can’t figure out what’s going on in the Sahara.

what a great cat! and the robot entry was interesting

I’m quoting you because of my initial interest as well. The term “robot” is originally though to have first been used in a stage play called R.U.R. or “Rossum’s Universal Robots” from 1920. It’s about a robot revolt after they attain self-actualization and 2 units fall in love and want to procreate. This was a great read.
