WorldGallery.

Hello World!

Welcome to WorldGallery, a free online encyclopedia.
WorldGallery was first envisioned by a group of college students at the Camelot Technical Academy in 2002.
It was meant as a centralised place for textbooks, interviews and other sources of information to be stored, allowing students to search up a particular concept on demand. The first version of WorldGallery was hosted on a repurposed Fell Octoplex, which was then connected to the college infranet. The club that managed it opened a request box at the request of users, students and teachers alike. Over the years, they received requests to add more pages, to the point that by their senior year, most of the new requests were outside of the sites original scope.

Seeing a gap in the market, these students founded WorldMedia, a non-profit which would maintain and distribute a version of WorldGallery accessible to everyone. On average, we have 11.4 million unique users a day, and our software and services are used everywhere, from education to industry to military applications.

Mission Statement.

Our mission at WorldGallery is to provide unbiased, factual information to the public, all for free.
As a result, we have a strict system of verification for all pages on this site that can be broken down into five principles.

Five Principles.

  1. Nothing is obvious. Something obvious to you might not be to someone else, and often to fully explain anything we must start from the bottom.
  2. Everything stated must be sourced. This is to ensure misinformation isn't spread. These sources must be publically available and credited.
  3. Keep discourse polite. Sure, we might have disagreements from time to time, but be normal, please?
  4. Respect the privacy and autonomy of other people. If you're writing a page on a famous person, for example, only use information they have shared publically.
  5. Remain impartial. We're here to share the truth, not an agenda or political ideology.

To Readers.

Hey guys, I'm gonna break kayfabe. If the tags didn't make it obvious, this is fiction.
This is the in universe wiki of my current worldbuilding project, Hypnos. Hopefully the point of this site will become clear in time, but I want to put some trigger warnings here in advance.
