What do you think of starting a new encyclopedia site on the internet?  |
| |
|  I don't like Wikipedia for some things, although it is helpful for learning obscure things about odd topics once in a while. However, my biggest complaint about Wikipedia is the inability to include a short article about a topic and their judgment of what topics are important. I am starting a new encyclopedia site where I can put whatever interests me on no matter how big or small the definition will be. I however will not include definitions of people say, Bob Smith who lives on 5th street in such and such a place. To include a person they have to have a somewhat significant meaning--such as they produced videos on Myspace or the same person appears multiple times when I look them up on Google.
To get a personal name on it, I may put contributed by and a person's name--I suppose if the person would contribute enough entries I could include a definition of them as an important contributor.
However, the point of this post is to gather information about my idea. What do you think--would my encyclopedia idea be better than using Wikipedia? After all, a topic would have more of a chance to end up in my encyclopedia web page.
Post any suggestions or comments here.

| |  That would be great, but love Wikipedia all the same. Still maybe it will improve if it got competition.

| |  Thats a good idea. best of luck for that.
But to manage it, you will need more people with various interests. The success of wikipedia is reader contributions. One person will not be having enough knowledge about all topics, If you are successfull in creating a team, it will be possible.
I had made a BLOG, a multi author blog, where users can register and write about various things. But i wasn't able to make it work fully due to lack of time. i was busy with my exams and now i need to find more time and help from my friends.

| | BY the way, which platform are you using for the encyclopedia. Same wiki script or any other script? | | | |

| | I have decided to not go with the wiki format--at least not ideally. I have decided to allow people to e-mail their submissions direct to one of my e-mail addresses before I post so I can monitor the content. I am not sure how popular the site will be yet as like wikipedia, it won't pay anyone to use it.
I have decided that people who submit the articles will get a "submitted by" line with their name following, so it would be chance for people see their name online as an author.
I just want to be able to include my interests--such as a page devoted defining my personal endeavors to create a character called, "Amythyst Amaryllis" which is a video, music, and photography based web presence, which I have multiple sites for. As it is a created character and comes up multiple time in Google, I feel it is important enough to have a page on.
Each submission will get it's own page which, since I have signed up for a totally free website address, might mean having multiple free websites to store all the submissions. However, this won't be until the original site fills up.
I have started on making the home page already, but it might take me a while to have it up yet. | | | |

| | Best of luck for your project.
You should find some more friends to work along so that you can make your site towards success.
wikipedia is having all topics under its roof. you should also need to include all topics . | | | |

| |  Well, your idea is simple great. But don't you think it's important to include interesting and important information about some of the great personalities? I find wikipedia very useful when I search for people.
