    In what language? Modern English didn’t exist yet and neither did pretty much any modern language. Good luck trying to get the local nobles and priests to decipher the hundreds of codices you brought with you that are in some strange language that nobody has seen before

      Wikipedia is for my benefit, so I can just read it.

      Nobody else needs to even know I have it, necessarily.

      Them not being able to read it might even be a boon.

      The goal is to get a leg up on things, not start having nuclear reactors in the medieval era.

      For example muskets had an iterative development as small incremental changes took place. Relatively small changes made modest improvements.

      It would also be nice to know when eclipses are about to happen, for, ah, reasons.
