Veropedia was a free, advertising-supported online encyclopedia launched in 2007. Veropedia editors chose Wikipedia articles that met the site's reliability standards; information was then scraped, or chosen by an automatic process, and thereafter a stable version of the article was posted on Veropedia. Any improvements required for articles to reach a standard suitable for Veropedia had to be done on Wikipedia itself. This model was intended to improve the quality of both projects.
By October 2008, the site, still in beta, had checked and imported more than 5,800 articles from the English Wikipedia into its public database.
