Unleashing the power of collective wisdom.

To demonstrate the importance of maintaining neutrality and objectivity in encyclopedic resources, we have reserved a separate section of the main page for hosting the Feature Showcase, where we will display the lead of an article in Wikipedia, where Justapedia articles originated, versus the equivalent lead in a pragmatically rewritten Justapedia article.

Introduction to Justapedia

Justapedia is an open and freely accessible online encyclopedia published in English with aspirations to one day grow into other language wikis. Justapedia launched to the public on August 9, 2023, and is being developed and maintained by volunteers through open collaboration on a MediaWiki based editing platform. The platform and tools to edit are hosted and operated by the Justapedia Foundation, a US-based tax deductible section 501(c)(3) charitable organization for educational purposes. Justapedia® is the registered trademark of the Justapedia Foundation (JPF), with the origins of our articles properly attributed to the Wikimedia Foundation, Wikipedia and its many volunteers, some of whom are also Justapedians. The imported corpus of Justapedia and its subsequent contents are licensed under CC-BY-SA and GFDL licenses. Further attribution is provided in the footer of each page with a link to the originating page from Wikipedia. The footer links provide access to original author attribution in the respective article's view history menu as well as in the Page information tool in the left sidebar of the respective Wikipedia page.

With the understanding that Justapedia's content was forked from the vast corpus of the English Wikipedia, which includes over 6.5 million articles, and numerous templates, projects, categories, and other freely licensed content, we face an equally large task in adapting and refining or completely changing this content to comply with Justapedia's five fundamental principles and core content policies. Many of the Wikipedia articles that have received widespread criticism from academics and the mainstream media have been forked to Justapedia, where they will be rewritten by volunteers who (a) share our mission and goals of preserving and protecting history, (b) want to restore the spirit of neutrality and objectivity, and (c) believe in the power of diverse perspectives. Happy editing!

Feature Showcase

Justapedia's Feature Showcase presents a unique educational tool, offering visitors a direct comparison between Justapedia's article leads and those of Wikipedia. This side-by-side layout is more than a mere comparison—it is a statement of purpose, underscoring Justapedia's commitment to uphold neutrality and objectivity in the information sphere. The showcase illuminates the stark differences between an article written with a focus on unbiased information and one that may have been influenced by political agendas. By doing so, Justapedia not only highlights the potential pitfalls of informational bias but also demonstrates, through example, the core principles of its mission to provide content that embodies impartiality and factual integrity. This educational feature serves as a learning resource for discerning readers and a testament to Justapedia's dedication to unswerving neutrality in a landscape often muddied by politicization.

From Justapedia

The Steele dossier is a collection of unsubstantiated allegations of salacious misconduct, conspiracy, and collusion between Donald Trump, his presidential campaign, and the Russian government. Christopher Steele compiled the information using low-level sources as part of his opposition research against then-presidential candidate Donald Trump. The 35-page dossier contains handwritten notes and raw intelligence sourced from rumors, hearsay, and third-party gossip. Inspector General Michael Horowitz found that the only "verified" information within the dossier was already available from public sources. Funding for this opposition research came from the Hillary Clinton 2016 presidential campaign and the Democratic National Convention (DNC), facilitated through their attorney of record, Marc Elias of Perkins Coie. Fusion GPS, an open-source intelligence firm, was hired by Perkins Coie, which subsequently contracted Steele, a former MI-6 spy, to conduct the investigation. This investigative effort lasted from June to December 2016.[1][2] It was noted in the Mueller report, and subsequent Durham report, that the material in the dossier compiled by Steele is "deeply flawed",[3] "largely unverified"[4] and ultimately "largely discredited".[5] Vladimir Putin did favor Trump over Hillary Clinton, and stated publicly that he wanted Trump to win the election because "he talked about bringing the U.S.-Russia relationship back to normal."[6] There was no evidence of any conspiracy, collusion or alleged nefarious meetings between Russian officials and Trump or his campaign officials relative to the 2016 presidential campaign. The Associated Press summarized that, "according to Durham, the FBI rushed into the probe without having any evidence that anyone from the Trump campaign had had any contact with any Russian intelligence officers." Durham's contention is that the "FBI fell prone to 'confirmation bias,' repeatedly ignoring, minimizing or rationalizing away evidence that undercut the premise of collusion, including a conversation in which Papadopoulos vigorously denied knowing about any cooperative relationship ...Steele dossier

From Wikipedia

The Steele dossier, also known as the Trump–Russia dossier,[7] is a controversial political opposition research report compiled by Christopher Steele that was published without permission as an unfinished 35-page compilation of "unverified, and potentially unverifiable" raw intelligence reports—"not established facts, but a starting point for further investigation".[8][9] It was written from June to December 2016 and contains allegations of misconduct, conspiracy, and cooperation between Donald Trump's presidential campaign and the government of Russia prior to and during the 2016 election campaign.[2] Several key allegations made in June 2016 about the Russian government's efforts to get Trump elected were later described as "prescient"[10] because they were corroborated six months later in the January 2017 report by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence[11][12] and the Mueller Report, namely that Vladimir Putin favored Trump over Hillary Clinton;[11][13] that he personally ordered an "influence campaign" to harm Clinton's campaign and to "undermine public faith in the US democratic process"; that he ordered cyberattacks on both parties;[11] and that many Trump campaign officials and associates had numerous secretive contacts with Russian officials and agents.[14][15] It was based on information from initially anonymous sources known to the author, counterintelligence specialist[16] Christopher Steele.[17] Steele, a former head of the Russia Desk for British intelligence (MI6), was writing the report for the private investigative firm Fusion GPS, that was paid by Hillary Clinton's campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC).[18] The dossier's 17 reports allege that Trump campaign members and Russian operatives had conspired to cooperate in Russia's election interference to benefit Trump.[19] It also alleges that Russia sought to damage Hillary Clinton's candidacy.[20] It was published by BuzzFeed News on January 10, 2017, without Steele's permission.[21] Their decision to publish the reports without verifying the allegations was criticized by journalists ...
