'''Libertapedia''' is "the libertarian encyclopedia".  The site, founded in {{tag|FoundedIn2004|2004}} as LibertarianWiki.org by Paul Studier, described itself as a "clearinghouse of useful information for {{tag|libertarian}} {{tag|activists}}" in the {{tag|United States}}, and was intended to facilitate collaboration on real-world campaigns and other projects, but is now segueing to a more encyclopedia-like format.  In {{tag|FoundedIn2010|2010}}, it switched from an exclusively {{tag|Wiki Public Domain (generic)|Public Domain}} license to a Public Domain/[[:Category:Wiki Creative Commons|Creative Commons]] ({{tag|Wiki Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike|Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike}}) hybrid that allows for content to be brought in from [[:Category:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]].  In 2010, a new site owner, Nathan Larson, took over and it was moved to Libertapedia.org. Beginning in 2011, it went down with database errors and was not resurrected until mid-2012. On 19 June 2014, the site was taken down permanently due to the principal funder's objections to certain content related to nudity and child sexuality.
