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.
