What do we mean when we say Panopedia is free and familiar?  It is free in the sense that it is freely available under the {{tag|Wiki Creative Commons Attribution-No Derivative Works|Creative Commons Attribution-NoDerivs 2.5 license}} (CC-BY-ND 2.5), and it is familiar in the sense that authors are transparent.  You can clearly identify who wrote an article and become familiar with that author.  Like the Wikipedia, Panopedia is a free user contributed encyclopedia.  Anyone can contribute but, unlike Wikipedia, we do not permit [[IP editor|anonymous authors]].

Article authors provide a full profile that is verified and [[verifiable]].  This is called transparency because the identity of authors can be clearly seen.  [[User]]s can become authors and editors.  Authors write the articles.  [[Editor]]s manage the Panopedia Taxonomy; how the articles are organised.  Authors put their {{tag|RealNamesNetwork|real names}} to articles and collaborate on articles by mutual consent.  And any author can provide supplementary or alternative contributions.  Any user can comment on an article, provide information and urge changes.
