I appreciate your concerns and would love to clarify how Dovepedia is distinct from Wikipedia and why it offers a unique contribution to the wiki ecosystem. | |||
Dovepedia | Dovepedia is not just a general-purpose encyclopedia—it’s a movement towards simplicity, inclusivity, and mobile-first design. Unlike Wikipedia, which is increasingly complex and heavy on policy and formatting, Dovepedia: | ||
* | * Targets general readers and non-native English speakers by writing in clear, plain English, similar to the reading level of The Guardian or The Times. | ||
* | * Focuses on mobile readability and user-friendly formatting, making it ideal for handheld browsing. Many wiki sites aren't truly mobile-optimised—Dovepedia is. | ||
* Prioritises original human writing—no AI content, no Wikidata dependencies, no excessive templates. | |||
* | * Welcomes niche topics that would be rejected on Wikipedia. Hobby articles, local interest pages, lesser-known creatives and businesses all have a place here. | ||
* | * Operates under a radically open philosophy, with fewer gatekeeping policies and a friendlier editor environment for hobbyists and casual contributors. | ||
* Rather than competing with Wikipedia, Dovepedia complements it by restoring the original wiki spirit—fast, human-readable, and personal. | |||
* | * Our aim is to build a curated yet open space where the joy of writing and reading comes first—not bureaucracy, deletionism, or over-engineering. | ||
* Dovepedia | |||
* | |||
If you’re open to it, I’d be happy to revise the Dovepedia listing to better reflect this ethos. Let me know what you'd suggest! | |||
