Featured Article: Battle of Constantinople (922)

The Bulgarians burn a church at the outskirts of Constantinople

The Battle of Constantinople was fought in June 922 at the outskirts of the capital of the Byzantine Empire, Constantinople, between the forces of the First Bulgarian Empire and the Byzantines during the Byzantine–Bulgarian war of 913–927. In the summer the Byzantine Emperor Romanos I Lekapenos sent troops under the commander Saktikios to repel another Bulgarian raid at the outskirts of the Byzantine capital. The Byzantines stormed the Bulgarian camp but were defeated when they confronted the main Bulgarian forces.

Popular Article: Freedom of Speech

Milton's Areopagitica written in defense of freedom of speech

Freedom of speech is the ability to speak without censorship or limitation. Also called freedom of expression, it refers not only to verbal speech but any act of communicating information or ideas, including publications, broadcasting, art, advertising, film, and the Internet. Freedom of speech and freedom of expression are closely related to the concepts of freedom of thought and conscience. The right to freedom of speech is recognized today as a fundamental human right under Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and is enshrined in international human rights law in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and various regional human rights documents.

-The current projected launch date for the ''New World Encyclopedia'' is January 1, 2008. The ''New World Encyclopedia'' is designed to organize human knowledge so that the reader will learn information, not just for its own sake, but for its value to the world as a whole. The underlying goal of the encyclopedia is to promote knowledge that leads to human happiness, well-being, and world peace.

-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.
