This is the original '''Encyc''' wiki, located at Encyc.org/pmwiki, which ran on the {{tag|PmWiki}} wiki engine. Encyc is a collaborative {{tag|encyclopedia}} similar to [[:Category:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]]. There are less rules on Encyc, though.

In reality, calling Encyc an 'encylopedia' is very optomistic – as most articles are merely one or two line opinions without any citations or references.  Articles are written in a very basic low-level grammar, and are clearly written from a US perspective, therefore not representing a worldview.  Many articles are factually incorrect. [http://encyc.org/Carbon] [http://encyc.org/Automobile] [http://encyc.org/GreatBritain] [http://encyc.org/RickAstley] [http://encyc.org/PrincessDiana] [http://encyc.org/Nissan]


This original [http://encyc.org/PmWiki/PmWiki PmWiki] version of Encyc has been abandoned, but is still live, and in read-only mode (although it still receives occasional edits from the site [[sysop|administrators]]).  It has been replaced by a [[Encyc (MediaWiki)|MediaWiki version]] as found [http://encyc.org/wiki here].
This is the original '''Encyc''' [[wiki]] site, {{tag|Founded in 2007|founded in July 2007}} and located at <tt>Encyc.org/pmwiki</tt>, it project was originally named the ''Encyclopedia Nova Caesarea'', and was powered by the {{tag|PmWiki}} wiki engine.[https://web.archive.org/web/20101220174628/http://Encyc.org/EncycPmWiki] Encyc is a collaborative {{tag|encyclopedia}}, similar to [[:Category:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]].  There are less rules on Encyc, though, and considerably less article pages.

In reality, calling Encyc an 'encyclopedia' is very optimistic, as most articles are merely one or two line opinions without any citations or references.  Articles are written in a very basic low-level grammar, and are clearly written from a [[:Category:United States of America|US]] perspective, therefore not representing a [[:Category:Earth|worldview]]. Many articles contained factual inaccuracies, its '[[featured article]]'[https://web.archive.org/web/20120730142443/http://Encyc.org/Main][https://archive.is/iFSMV] on [[Archive.org:20120501051109/http://Encyc.org/WorldWarII|World War II]] being a notable example littered with errors, bias, and untruths!

This original [[archive.is:Ozbgr|PmWiki]]<!--http://Encyc.org/PmWiki/PmWiki--> version of Encyc has been {{tag|Goal abandoned|abandoned}}.  It remained live, and in {{tag|read-only}} mode (although it still received occasional [[edit]]s from the site [[Sysop|administrators]]).  It was replaced by a [[Encyc (MediaWiki)|MediaWiki version]] as found at <tt>[https://encyc.org/wiki Encyc.org/wiki]</tt>.  In 2019, that MediaWiki version became restricted and [[user]]s could neither edit nor view the content.  However, as of May 2021, the MediaWiki version returned to a fully functional site, with all pages viewable and editable.
