A growing number of reference sites are now available on the web. Some are general, but most are specific to some particular area of interest.
Standard
Issuepedia has templates for easy linkage to the following MediaWiki-based reference sites:
- Wikipedia Main Page): general encyclopedia; usually reliable, but be alert for political editorial agendas
- Conservapedia (Main Page
): Americonservatism-oriented encyclopedia; sees the world from a United States-centric point of view, and uses every opportunity to show how all problems can be blamed on liberalism and/or secularism - Discourse DB (Main Page): database of editorial opinions
Dkosopedia: left-leaning political encyclopediadefunct- Iron Chariots: religious apologetics
- Metapedia (metapedia dot org is blocked by MW spam filter; Wikipedia): "far-right, white nationalist, white supremacist, white separatist, antisemitic, and neo-Nazi"
- RationalWiki (Main Page): devoted to rational analysis of politically-significant claims
- SJWiki: Social Justice Wiki
- SourceWatch (Main Page): follows the influence of money in politics
In each case, there is a template of the same name (all lower-case, no spaces) -- e.g. {{ironchariots}} -- which will link to that wiki's article of the same name. The first argument (optional) is the article name to link to if it's not the same.
Other
- Rightpedia (Main Page): wiki-based encyclopedia representing "alt-right" (aka "Nazis who don't want to admit to it") viewpoints
- LittleSis - site - similar to SourceWatch, but more oriented towards political connections. Does not appear to be wiki-based.
- Dictionary.com
- Merriam-Webster dictionary
- Online Etymology Dictionary
- SciHub: free copies of paywalled research
- Statista, "The Statistics Portal": searchable charts and statistics
- The Summer Foundation Initiatives Database: "...initiatives of people who are committed to making the world a more free, equal and solidary place" (Apparently "solidary" is, in fact, a word.)
- Online Etymological Dictionary (via)
- Friends Committee on National Legislation (FCNL)
