I’m still looking for the next new replacement for Wikipedia. Have we found one? Maybe, Everipedia.

With Wikipedia’s growth of new editors and new articles waning, the world looking for a new solution that can scale to larger domains. Has anyone used Everipedia? It looks like a much more promising replacement as it is not as restricted as Wikipedia, yet it still has a content-quality system built-in, although much of the existing content that was copied from Wikipedia doesn’t yet have as many improvements as I would expect.

For example, the deleted Wikipedia article on Ulrich Drepper did not get migrated to Everipedia.

But even Wikipedia has an article on Everipedia.

But the verdict? For the time being, Everipedia is mainly focused on pop culture and college student culture. The other goals are audacious, but they haven’t yet panned out. Also, Everipedia still has only an English community; they have yet to expand to other languages.

Okay, that’s not quite the final verdict. Everpedia has yet much more detailed information on itself than Wikipedia.

@Cameronaz the site is user-generated, so it can’t really apologize. It is kind of like the wild-west, so if you see something on here, i wouldn’t really trust it unless it has a citation. That being said, the trade-off is that Everipedia sometimes gets it right before the mainstream media does, like the UCLA shooter Mainak Sarkar, and James Alex Fields.

Yikes, so that statement right there. Perhaps its indicative of the problem with poorly organized communities. Well-organized communities can issue an apology, by contrast. And, apologies are essential for effective communication.

This article really states what Everipedia is all about.

The closer you look at Everipedia, the less substantial it appears.

Wow, this is a subject that actually has a top search result entry from Everipedia. Also, there are a ton of people of the exact same name.

Everipedia hopes to reach 100 million articles some time in the future.

Ha! So this is interesting. There’s a Quora question asking how to write a Wikipedia article that doesn’t get deleted. Wikipedia lists a number of alterative places to put content. So why don’t they focus on moving content rather than deleting it? Yup, you’ve guess it: they don’t care to help.

Worthy of note is that Everipedia uses IPFS. So yes, you get the idea. IPFS is really taking off fast. CCN, by contrast, is doomed for irrelevance.
