Veropedia

While reading the latest updates to The Virtual Chase, I noticed this post:

Wikipedia launched a beta site called Veropedia, where it plans to move the most stable, expert articles on Wikipedia. According to the FAQ, "articles must meet very strict criteria of our own. There can be no cleanup tags, no "citation needed" tags, no disambiguation links, no dead external links, and no fair use images. In addition, each article will be given to recognized academics and experts to review. These experts can either provide their stamp of approval or make suggestions as to how the article can be improved further. In that way, users will know that the article is reliable."

The Veropedia beta only has about 4000 articles. I am guessing from info on the beta site that a group of Wikipedia contributors pulled their articles for the Veropedia and these articles will eventually be reviewed by experts. At this point some are "blue" and some are "green." They say: "If an article has already been "verofied" and is in our database, it will appear as a green link. If an article has not yet been "verofied," it will appear as a blue link, and direct you to the current Wikipedia version." For more see their FAQ.
