I am interested in philosophy. Wikipedia’s articles on the topic are very uneven - some are okay, others are really bad.

There are two freely accessible online philosophy encyclopaedias written by actual philosophy academics - Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy and Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy (IEP) - both are miles better than Wikipedia. (IEP tends to be more accessible for beginners - some of Stanford’s articles can get quite esoteric and technical.) Another very good philosophy encyclopedia is Routledge’s, albeit it is not freely available online (or at least, not legally). Why rely on Wikipedia when there are much more reliable and higher quality alternatives?
