What Is Wikitia?

Wikitia is an English-language online encyclopedia whose content is written or curated by a team of verified editors rather than by open public contribution. As of the site's own main page, it features 59,695 encyclopedic articles. It is aimed at readers who want reference-style entries on people, companies, and other subjects, with references drawn from news sources. If you are looking for a wiki-style reference site where editing is restricted to vetted contributors, Wikitia fits that description; if you expect the open, anyone-can-edit model of a typical wiki, it does not.

What Wikitia says it is

According to its main page, Wikitia describes itself as "an encyclopedia, written in the English language and maintained by verified editors, that colloborate to offer neutral content, extended knowledge base, and references from the news sources."

Two points stand out in that description:

• Verified editors, not open editing. The community is limited to "only verified editors with proven expertise." The site directs anyone who wants to edit an existing page or create a new one to reach out to verified editors.
• Neutral content with news-based references. The stated editorial aim is neutral entries supported by references from news sources.

Who writes and maintains it

Wikitia's administration section states that its community is restricted to verified editors with demonstrated expertise. In practice this means:

• Entries are "written or curated by our verified editors and team of writers," per the main page.
• Ordinary readers cannot simply create an account and start editing; the route to contributing is contacting a verified editor.
• The site presents itself as editor-maintained rather than crowd-maintained.

What kind of content it carries

The main page's featured articles give a sense of the range. They include:

The pattern is heavy on businesspeople, companies, and media or internet personalities — subjects that often have news coverage but may not meet the notability bar of larger reference projects.

The stated mission

Wikitia Foundation's mission, as described on the site, is "to provide Wiki encyclopedic content to users and companies under a free license that can be used by the search engines for building better web semantics to enhance existing and create new Knowledge Graphs."

That framing matters for understanding the project's purpose: it positions the content not only as reading material for people but as structured data intended to feed search engines and knowledge graphs.

How to use it

• Reading: Browse or search the site for entries on the people, companies, and topics it covers. The main page surfaces featured articles as a starting point.
• Editing or creating a page: The site does not offer open self-service editing. Its instruction is to reach out to verified editors through the contact route linked on the main page.
• Citing it: Because the site says its entries draw on news sources, check the references within an entry if you need to verify a specific claim.

What to keep in mind

• The article count (59,695) and the descriptions above come from Wikitia's own main page, so they reflect the site's self-description rather than an independent audit.
• The verified-editor model means coverage and updates depend on that editor group, not on a broad volunteer base.
• The site's stated free license applies to its content; the main page does not describe any pricing or login requirements for reading, and none should be assumed beyond what the site states.
