Encyclocentral is a new Wiki-like site run by my pal Dan Conner, who runs the uber-successful Vonage Forums (www.vonage-forum.com). While I'm sure Dan has no illusions of overtaking Wikipedia, he has put a lof of work into the site and all the articles on Encyclocentral are hand written. Some good content there - go check it out!

You're joking, right?
The articles I have seen read as if they have been translated by machine from a foreign language.
For example, this:
A-90 is a major highway, connecting Edinburgh and Fraserburgh in Scotland. It is a popular road among the major connectors of the world. It finally merges into M-90 motorway before covering the Fourth Road Bridge in the west. The M-90 once again becomes A-90 at Perth. On its way it covers Dundee, Forfar, Brechin, Stonehaven, Aberdeen and Peterhead
Leaving aside that the roads are the A90 and M90 (no hyphens) what does it mean covering the Fourth Road Bridge? We would say crossing the Forth Road Bridge. Note the spelling: there are no First, Second or Third road bridges. The bridge is across the Firth of Forth.
Other articles are even worse. The one on Anne Fine, for example, says Anne Fine is a British author who is best known for writing books for the children readers, middle-aged readers, old aged persons as well as adult readers. Quite apart from that misplaced apostrophe, you would never guess from reading this that she writes books for younger, middle and older children as well as adults, would you?
I just read an article about former NFL and MSU player
Charles Rogers. It was written by someone who is not
familiar with English usage or with football.
