Wikipedia faces competition from Meyer's Lexicon

 The German publisher Meyers Lexikon is launching a participatory encyclopaedia on the Internet, which is controlled by expert editors and is therefore intended to show relevant and reliable content. According to its own description, the online encyclopedia is originally based on the content of "Meyers Grosses Taschenlexikon in 24 Bänden". However, registered users can edit articles themselves in a separate area. The Meyers Lexikon editorial team checks the articles for formal accuracy, correctness of content and neutrality of presentation and, if necessary, transfers them to the checked article area. The editorial control is not the only difference between the new encyclopedia and Wikipedia: Advertising can already be seen on the home page of the Meyers Lexikon online, with Google Ads placed next to self-advertisements.
