AP - It happens all the time: You read an entry in an encyclopedia or other reputable source and think, "That's not right" or "They forgot this!" Microsoft Corp.'s Encarta encyclopedia is testing a system that lets everyone be an editor — in theory at least.




This is a GrokNews Entry: (what is grok?)

Microsoft Making Encarta Into Wikicarta?
Not Quite
04/18/2005 06:48 PM
Microsoft's Encarta encyclopedia project often seems to be forgotten in all of the various arguments over Wikipedia, but it appears that they're feeling a bit of the Wikipedia-induced heat. They're going to now make it easier for people to suggest changes to Encarta entries, if they feel they're wrong. Of course, those changes will still be reviewed by an editor, so it's not really wiki-like at all -- but that won't stop the press from making the connection. It's just that Encarta is making the "feedback" functionality a little more prominent and hoping that this allows them to catch some of the Wikipedia hype wave.

Internet Encyclopedia of Ukraine (IEU)
http://encyclopediaofukraine. com/

This site is under construction. Once completed, the Internet Encyclopedia of Ukraine (IEU) will be the most comprehensive source of information in English on Ukraine, its history, people, geography, society, economy, and cultural heritage. At present, the IEU team is working on phase 1 of the project: the creation of an Internet database containing the revised and updated contents of the five-volume Encyclopedia of Ukraine (University of Toronto Press, 1984-93) edited by Volodymyr Kubijovyc (vols. 1-2) and Danylo Husar Struk (vols. 3-5). Less than eight percent of this information is currently displayed on their site. New entries are being edited, updated, and added daily. Their ability to update this information and the speed with which they can make it available to Internet users worldwide will greatly depend on the availability of financial resources for their project. You can greatly contribute to the success of the Internet Encyclopedia of Ukraine by supporting their work morally and financially.
