- Wikiweise
Wikiweise is a
German language Wiki encyclopedia started by Ulrich Fuchs, a former administrator in theGerman Wikipedia , inApril 2005 .The articles - except those imported from Wikipedia - are released 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 program written by the founder of the site himself. A special feature is to convert articles to PDF (similar to [http://sourceforge.net/projects/wikipdf wikipdf] ). Articles can be copied from Wikipedia using software tools.Important differences from
Wikipedia include stricter criteria for inclusion. Wikiweise has a more restricted scope than the Wikipedia projects, e.g. for films, an Oscar is sufficient. Editors have to be logged in and identified by their real name.The site uses Google ads to secure financial support.
