Thank you for your concerns and I would like to explain why Dovepedia stands out from Wikipedia as well as its special role in the wiki world. | |||
Dovepedia | Dovepedia stands apart from traditional encyclopedias by advancing the principles of simplicity and inclusivity while prioritising mobile-first design. Dovepedia avoids the complexity and policy-focused nature that characterises Wikipedia. | ||
* | * Dovepedia reaches general audiences and English learners through its straightforward writing style which matches the reading level of ''The Guardian'' or ''The Times''. | ||
* | * The platform offers mobile-friendly readability and easy-to-navigate formatting which makes it perfect for handheld browsing. | ||
* | * Many wiki sites aren't truly mobile-optimised—Dovepedia is. | ||
* | * Dovepedia focuses exclusively on human-generated content while avoiding AI-produced text and dependencies on Wikidata along with template overuse. | ||
* | * Our platform accepts niche topics that Wikipedia typically rejects. | ||
* | * Hobby articles along with local interest pages and lesser-known creatives and businesses find their home on this platform. | ||
* | * The platform follows a radically open philosophy by implementing minimal gatekeeping policies and creating a welcoming editor environment for hobbyists and informal contributors. | ||
* Dovepedia serves as a complement to Wikipedia by bringing back the initial wiki principles of speed, personal readability, and authenticity. | |||
* We aim to create a curated open environment where the enjoyment of writing and reading has priority over bureaucracy, deletionism, or over-engineering. | |||
I am willing to adjust the Dovepedia listing to align with this ethos if you approve. Let me know what you'd suggest! | |||
Warm wishes, | Warm wishes, |
