Gay online encyclopaedia debuts

[Fearless]

The wiki site began collating content after its soft-launch last year and has now gone live.

Unlike Wikipedia, WikiQueer says it will allow dynamic content from existing online LGBT and wiki projects, content geared towards activism around issues, and in-depth information on the LGBT communities which may not presently meet Wikipedia’s notability standards.

WikiQueer founder and lead administrator, Gregory Varnum said: “I felt drawn to the concept of presenting LGBT information via wikis for years.

“Helping with dozens of pages and projects on Wikipedia and assisting with the development of specialized LGBT wiki projects fulfilled some of that. However, I consistently came back to the need for a truly comprehensive wiki by and for the LGBT communities, free of any community politics.”

2. I would send money to them before I...

send money to the other Wiki for promulgating lies and mis-truths about GLBT folks

How many examples of biased "factual" insertions in Wikipedia can we find? Then how many on Conservapedia?

I think we need to have a "truthfulness" entry on both of those, regarding GLBTQ folks
