WikiPedia is a wide-open encyclopedia project. Who knows where it will go?

We invite everyone to contribute. Just pick a topic, write an article. You can do so anonymously or give yourself credit. If you see an error, you can instantly edit an article to fix it.


A question: Where should we discuss the mechanisms of WikiPedia. On this page?


A comment: For an internet encyclopedia, that will have contributors from around the world, a USA flag somehow doesn't seem right for the logo.


A request: For an encyclopedia, the usual Wiki link-naming scheme seems not quite right. How about patching the Wiki server code so that any string that ends in a special character (such as "~") becomes a Wiki link.


A wikipedia is an encyclopedia-like project built using wiki software. [Nupedia] is not built using wiki software (it is carefully peer-reviewed), and therefore it is not a wikipedia. The principals of [Nupedia], however, are interested in exploring the wiki idea as a supplement to Nupedia, not as part of Nupedia's editorial process.


Query: And who would the principals of [Nupedia] be?
I think this calls for a "WikiWatcher" to conduct an assessment.
Are we then, WikiPedians ? I'll have to think about that one...
