Hi. I'm something of a Civ 3 newb (I'm working on Warlord difficulty, but this certainly is not the first time I've tried) and I have a few questions that have been bugging me. Two are a matter of fact, and the other is something that I think to be a matter of opinion. Ok, here they are.
1. Great Wonders- Obsoleteness
a. Ok, so in the Civilpedia, it tells what tech makes a given wonder obsolete. So let's say we have here Wonder A being built by Civilization B, which is made obsolete by Tech C. How does the game decide when A becomes obsolete? Is it just when any civilization researches C? Or is it only when B researches C? Or does it simply require a certain number of civilization to have researched C, at which point A becomes obsolete?
b. What exactly does an obsolete wonder do? I already know that it loses its main benefit, but does it stop generating culture too?
2. Histograph- Relevancy
Ok, so I've seen the histograph, and I was just wondering if, in the opinion of some Civ 3 vets, it is an accurate reflection of how your society is doing? Or should I just ignore it?
3. Great Wonders- Finding out who has what?
I've seen screenshots of the Wonder status screen, and once, my cat danced around on the keyboard and somehow managed to open it. What key do I push to open the screen on which civilizations are constructing what Wonders?
Thanks in advance for any and all help.

on when a wonder becomes obsolete. In my games, especially with the Great Library, I have found that it only becomes obsolete when I discover Education. Sometimes I avoid that route altogether and focus on the other tech path so that I do not make it obsolete. Although, eventually, you actually get Education through the Great Library and then make it obsolete anyway (vicious cycle).
