" | "<b>WikiLeaks</b> is developing an {{tag|Censorship|uncensorable}} {{tag|Encyclopedia|encyclopaedia}} for untraceable mass document {{tag|Leaks|leaking}} and analysis. Our primary interest is in exposing oppressive regimes in {{tag|Asia}}, the former Soviet bloc, Sub-Saharan {{tag|Africa}}, and the {{tag|Middle East}}; but we also expect to be of assistance to {{tag|people}} of all regions who wish to reveal {{tag|Ethics|unethical}} behaviour in their {{tag|government}}s and {{tag|corporations}}."<sup>[source please]</sup> | ||

Their [[WikiLeaks:WikiLeaks:Understanding submissions|understanding submissions]] page contains detailed information on their actual document submissions process, assisted with a flow diagram on the actual submissions process; all the way through to being published on the WikiLeaks website. They state that: "All files are processed in {{tag|crypto}}graphically secure, isolated environments making use of AES256, ''{{tag|United States of America|US}} DoD TOP SECRET''-approved encryption". An important step in their process is what they call a [[WIKIleaks:WikiLeaks:What makes a proper leak descriptor|leak descriptor]], and it can be deduced that all material published on their site is of high encyclopaedic standard, and its integrity and accuracy will out-perform the very highest levels of scrutiny. Online submissions are routed via {{tag|Sweden}} and {{tag|Belgium}}, whereas hardcopy and physical media can be posted "via our discreet postal network". | Their [[WikiLeaks:WikiLeaks:Understanding submissions|understanding submissions]] page contains detailed information on their actual document submissions process, assisted with a flow diagram on the actual submissions process; all the way through to being published on the WikiLeaks website.

Unlike say [[:Category:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]], all language versions are merely sub-pages, rather than sub-domains, eg: <tt>https://WikiLeaks.org/wiki/Wikileaks/it</tt>. | The WikiLeaks [[wiki]] contains articles written in {{tag|Wiki Multilingual|many}} [[:Category:Wiki language|languages]].

Although it runs {{tag|MediaWiki}}, and includes 'wiki' in the name, it is no longer an open wiki community. Other observations reveal that all pages are devoid of any [[edit history]], and many of the usual MediaWiki [[Special pages]] are missing. | ||
