Recently there was discussion of various forks that were in existence. Is there a encyclopedia fork which has no BLP and has been set-up to never have a BLP? **************Vote for your city's best dining and nightlife. City's Best 2008. (http://citysbest.aol.com?ncid=aolacg00050000000102)

Veropedia doesn't have BLPs.

Veropedia doesn't have a memorable domain name (I tried veropedia.org, www.veropedia.org, and en.veropedia.org before going to google), Veropedia doesn't have a "go" function, or a search function that I can find, Veropedia doesn't have appropriate google ads, but Veropedia does have BLPs. Unless [http://en.veropedia.com/a/Gordon_Brown Gordon Brown] died and I didn't notice it. I'll go update his Wikipedia article then. Eugene

Well, I found a search function (top left of the page, under navigation), but I also found a ton more Biographies of Living People. Just a quick look through the "D" section shows several. So, I can't help but think there's some misunderstanding. Maybe David meant something else? Perhaps he was referring to the BLP or similar policy? I'm kind of confused.

Sorry, I was vaguely remembering that they weren't porting BLPs over. Evidently that's no longer the case. - d.

Define. Is this "has no [[WP:BLP]]-esque BLP policy"; or "does not have biographies of living people"? If the latter, there's no shortage at all... -- - Andrew Gray andrew.gray(a)dunelm.org.uk
