Interesting, Ecured is a Cuban state-operated clone of Wikipedia

Ecured is a Cuban state-operated clone of Wikipedia »

While Ecured runs on a crowdsourced model somewhat similar to its American cousin, government authorities keep close tabs on IP addresses that edit articles and strictly monitor content. Users who edit articles must be approved by government censors as well. Ecured, which launched in 2010, has over 17,000 articles including one on “Yankee imperialism.”

Unlike Wikipedia’s clamorous riot of left-wing and right-wing editors locking horns in perpetual neutrality, Ecured has a somewhat consistent editorial tone: Cuban dissident Yoani Sanchez is described as a “cybermercenary” and “counterrevolutionary.”
