'''Internet-Encyclopedia''' (abbreviated I-E) is a [[Fork (open source)|fork]] of [[Wikipedia]] initiated by [[User:Fred Bauder|Fred Bauder]]. It uses the [[Wikipedia:Projects using Wikipedia software|MediaWiki software]]. It is written in [[American English]] and makes no attempt to be multilingual, although existing links to Wikipedia articles in other languages are retained in the case of articles copied from Wikipedia. I-E describes itself as an American project and particularly welcomes articles interesting to Americans (source: [http://www.internet-encyclopedia.org/ I-E main page], October 5 2003).

I-E's policy about [[point of view]] is different from Wikipedia: rather than adopting a [[neutral point of view]] the set of articles about a particular topic are split into a [http://www.internet-encyclopedia.org/wiki.phtml?title=Internet-Encyclopedia:Set_of_articles number of articles] with a specified point of view--thus it tries to have several points of view on each topic. The main article is written from a [http://www.internet-encyclopedia.org/wiki.phtml?title=Internet-Encyclopedia:Sympathetic_point_of_view sympathetic point of view]. See also:  [http://www.internet-encyclopedia.org/wiki.phtml?title=Internet-Encyclopedia:Point_of_view  Internet-Encyclopedia:Point_of_view].  This policy has lead to some criticism from several [[Wikipedia]] users, who believe that there is not any one sympathetic point of view, and that maintaining a sympathetic point of view about topics such as [[Nazism]] tends to distort the truth.

At the beginning of October 2003, I-E had around 2,300 articles.

Internet-Encyclopedia is hosted by [http://www.ibiblio.org ibiblio.org], see [[ibiblio]] which as a host is stable, reasonably responsive, and offers sufficient storage space for expansion of I-E to a comprehensive encyclopedia. I-E is also up at least temporarily at http://www.internet-encyclopedia.info with different content
