I use WIKI 2 every day and almost forgot how the original Wikipedia looks like.
What we do. Every page goes through several hundred of perfecting techniques; in live mode. Quite the same Wikipedia. Just better.

NGC 59 is a lenticular galaxy[3] in the constellation Cetus. It is a probable member of the Sculptor Group. It is approximately 17 million light-years away.[2]

NGC 59 has a stellar mass of 5x108 M and it is a low-luminosity, low-metallicity galaxy. It has a young (2 to 6 billion years old) low-metallicity population at its center and an older (about 8 billion years old) overlaying population that has also a low metallicity.[4]
