 Search engines serve links to Wikipedia articles near the top of their results, and while the great majority is fine, some of those articles are extremely unreliable or [[https://web.archive.org/web/20231129031957/https://larrysanger.org/2020/05/wikipedia-is-badly-biased/|badly biased]]. And when we look for better information, the choice is often between two extremes: unquestioned "mainstream" dogma or "alternative" sites of doubtful and often very poor reliability.  Search engines serve links to Wikipedia articles near the top of their results, and while the great majority is fine, some of those articles are extremely unreliable or [[https://web.archive.org/web/20231129031957/https://larrysanger.org/2020/05/wikipedia-is-badly-biased/|badly biased]].

-This website is meant to **serve as a tool** for people who want to be well informed and who may want to contribute sometimes. It's open for everyone to join. +While rebuilding this site, new AI web tools became available that make the original work plan of this website obsolete.  
 +Apart of Wikipedia a few less known man-made alternatives exist such as Citizendium and Wikispooks. Recently old resources such as Brittanica as well as new AI alternatives such as Grokipedia became freely available which finally break the nearly monopoly position of Wikipedia. And instead of merging articles from such sources that have different points of view by hand, now that effort can be automated with AI tools. The new plan, starting in 2026, is therefore to make use of AI for the creation of a limited range of articles.
