Bhutannica:About
From Bhutannica
Bhutannica has been initiated to try to 'set the record straight' on facts about Bhutan. While Wikipedia's efforts are commendable, it has two basic problems. First, it is vulnerable to edit wars where the 'winner' is simply the one with the most time to spare. Secondly, Wikipedia requires 'citable' references for all the information that is put up whereas Bhutan is a country that is largely without written records. Recent articles are also considered 'citations' but again, not a lot is written by Bhutanese writers. The internet however is filled to the brim with articles of every kind including those of very questionable credibility. Wikipedia's standards however seem to accept those citations.
Through Bhutannica, responsible editors with the necessary knowledge are invited to participate in building a truly informational and accurate source for information on Bhutan.
