Wikiweise

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wikiweise is a German language encyclopedia started by Ulrich Fuchs, a former administrator in the German Wikipedia, in April 2005.

The articles are released under the GFDL and some are also dual-licensed under the Free Wiki-License, a new license by Ulrich Fuchs which demands a clearer naming of the authors of an article than GFDL but is otherwise comparable.

The underlying Wiki software is Wikipresto, a proprietary software written by the founder of the site himself. A special feature is to convert articles to PDF (similar to wikipdf). Articles can be copied from Wikipedia using software tools.

Important differences to the Wikipedia include stricter criteria for inclusion. Wikiweise has a more restricted scope than the Wikipedia projects, e.g. for films, an Oscar is satisfactory. Editors have to be logged in and identify by their real name.

The site uses Google ads to secure financial support.
