Of course, the paid online Pedias are already ahead of the game, however, you don't have to go the paid route. We believe, for now, the free online Pedias are going to suffer in integrity through both the tactics being used by Wikipedia (self-censoring based on biased reasonings) as well as infiltration by hacks (misinformation campaigns to control the narrative and/or destroy the reputation of the Pedia).

Here's a link that provides some viable alternatives - do know the rankings are based upon the up and down votes of the site's members (such as us)...

Also, here is another site that offers a fairly comprehensive listing by category - you may want to bookmark this for future use..

Lastly, if you are familiar with Corey's Digs then you already know of her high level of integrity with her posts. She provides an excellent start to building a library of links that can be used for research and reference, you can find her recommendations here (it won't make you another Corey, that's up to you 😊 ):

Be sure to add your preferred free and/or paid online sites for referencing and researching in the comments. This will be pinned in this group for easier referencing... Feel free to share the listings but be sure to remove any member names.
