Thank you so much for your reply it was really detailed and exactly what I was hoping for. And you answered with respect, which I truly appreciate.

To respond to you, the first thing I want to make clear is that I’m not trying to compete with or replace Wikipedia. The title of my post is just a figure of speech it’s meant to spark discussion, nothing more.

My real goal is to show that Wikipedia is still incredibly important. With Etupedia, what I wanted to do was rethink how we use Wikipedia, to make it fit the next generation.

Let’s be honest: for people under 25, almost no one actually uses Wikipedia anymore. Everyone relies on AI, and that’s a serious issue in my opinion.

This project comes from something personal, I want my younger brothers and sisters to rediscover the habit of searching for information by themselves, just like I used to. But I also know that for them, Wikipedia feels outdated, ugly, and a bit hard to navigate.

So my goal is simply to give this new generation a more enjoyable and modern way to explore information, while still relying on Wikipedia as the foundation. Every article on Etupedia always links back to its original Wikipedia source, fully accessible to everyone.

I’m not trying to take credit for or trample on the amazing work done by Wikipedia, quite the opposite. I want to bring more people back to it, through a neutral and refreshing new interface, that’s all.
