Isn there already a free online GWU encyclopedia?
Yes. The George Washington University and Foggy Bottom Historic Encyclopedia is maintained and edited by a George Washington University archivist. At the time of GWiki’s creation however, the online encyclopedia was not functioning properly and was assumed to be offline indefinitely. About a month after GWiki’s creation, it was discovered to be functioning fine, but could only be edited by writers approved by the university. Also, it focused primarily on the history of GW and not necessarily other aspects that might be of use in an all-encompassing encyclopedia. GWiki, therefore, is an encyclopedia that is free and uncensored; it can be constantly updated at any time by any one individual. The George Washington University and Foggy Bottom Historic Encyclopedia can be found at encyclopedia.gwu.edu.
