Appropedia Appropedia is a wiki-based website that contains content relating to sustainability, poverty, environmental degradation, and international development.[1][2] Purpose [edit]Appropedia can be used to help people who lack in financial stability and are looking for an alternative source to advance their financial expertise as well as environmental sustainability.[3] Nomenclature [edit]Appro means "Appropriate Technology".[4] Despite "pedia" in the title, the site is not an encyclopedia, but a collection of various types of content, including original research.[4] History [edit]Appropedia was founded in 2006[5] and registered it as a not for profit in California.[6] Site organization [edit]The website is organized into portals that are groups of articles arranged by topics.[4] Topics include construction, energy, food & agriculture, health, and water.[4] Like other wiki based websites, the content can be navigated in multiple ways, using tags to indicate themes.[4][7] Content is made under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 license.[4] Comparison with Wikipedia [edit]The rules for content acceptance and editing on Appropedia vary from Wikipedia due to having different goals.

For example: - While Wikipedia requires verifiability, Appropedia prefers verifiability but does not demand it.[4] - While Wikipedia prohibits original research, Appropedia encourages it.[4] - While Wikipedia requires a neutral point of view, Appropedia encourages a neutral point of view, but notably the content tends to be uploaded by people with affiliations to the topic.[4] Notable uses [edit]An Ontario man, Aren Page, used Appropedia to help him design an off-grid residential vehicle.[8] Michigan Technological University faculty Joshua Pearce used Appropedia to share hundreds of designs for cost saving.[9] References [edit]- ^ Pearce, Joshua M.
