The [Wikipedia](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wikipedia-article-ai) Iraq War Encyclopedia is a truly impressive creation. This encyclopedia cataloged every edit made in the ‘Iraq War’ Wikipedia article from December 2004 to November 2009.

The encyclopedia was created by Brian Bridle. Bridle organized and cataloged every edit made over those years into [twelve volumes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/30th-anniversary-book)! The Wikipedia Iraq War Encyclopedia is huge, and has a wealth of information showing just how confusing the war has been, as well as the public’s opinion of it. Check out pictures and a few edits in the gallery above.
