Today, computer and internet encyclopedias have largely replaced print encyclopedias. The most popular online encyclopedia, ''Wikipedia'' has  stunned the world; and as a leading force in the open source revolution has shaken assumptions regarding knowledge and scholarship to their very roots.  Some have challenged its reliability because of its policy to let anyone contribute to it, but it has stood up remarkably to tests and comparisons to conventional sources such as the ''Encyclopedia Britannica''.

''New World Encyclopedia'' is a wiki-based encyclopedia which contains carefully selected articles that were rewritten and supervised by a team of editors with academic and literary qualifications. ''New World Encyclopedia'' will have the same ease of use as ''Wikipedia,'' but will differ based on an editorial policy that includes a more rigorous article selection process, editorial review process, and its wholesome values orientation.

Featured Article: Jean-Paul Marat

Marat by Joseph Boze, 1793
Jean-Paul Marat (born Mara; May 24, 1743 – July 13, 1793) was a French political theorist, physician, and scientist. A journalist and politician during the French Revolution, he was a vigorous defender of the sans-culottes, a radical voice who published his views in pamphlets, placards and newspapers. After the fall of the Girondins, in which Marat played an important role, he was assassinated by Charlotte Corday, a Girondin sympathizer, while taking a medicinal bath for his debilitating skin condition. In death, Marat became an icon to the Montagnards faction of the Jacobins as well as the greater san-culotte population, and a revolutionary martyr.
