User Stories vs Use Cases, revisited

alt title: wikipedia isn't always right.
So after some concert being brought up about the correctness of my previous post for this topic, I decided to look into it a bit more. Here's what I found:

User stories are generally described as short or brief, but that is a guideline, not the point.

The most commonly named difference is that user stories follow the idea of a person wanting to accomplish a goal. Use Cases tend to focus more on the process used to accomplish the goal.

Information was found by googling "user stories vs use cases" (without the quotes) and checking most of the first page of results.
