Why

Why use InsidersPedia:

InsidersPedia achieves its goal by offering a platform (i.e this web site) that enables individuals to add pages. By freely adding pages to the encyclopedia local individuals (i.e Insiders) can share information about their local communities. Local businesses, organizations, professionals, teams, groups or clubs (i.e Entities) each gets a free encyclopedia Page (i.e. a free Page -- sometimes referred to as 'Listing'). Every encyclopedia page can be rated and commented on. Every Insider is held accountable for their contribution, no anonymous comments or ratings are allowed and Insiders that List an Entity (create a Page) cannot rate or comment on that Entity Page). InsidersPedia brings the best of services such as Angies List, Wikipedia, Yellow Pages, Yahoo and DMOZ while emphasizing openness, community-policing, equal rights to all users and free access to all. As a result, InsidersPedia has effectively become a favorite local guide created and maintained by insiders, an insiders guide.
