I love Wikipedia.org but I want a more reliable free encyclopedia.
I want the encyclopedia to be allowed to cited for college papers.
I want the encyclopedia to feature Pop Culture, Psychology, Education, Law, and as vast or as close to as vast as wikipedia.(justpeec...)

Yes. Just use Encyclopedia Britannica:

Unfortunately, I've never found an encyclopedia as comprehensive and as in-depth as Wikipedia. And, not to contradict another person who answered, but many many many articles in Wikipedia ARE reviewed. Look at the edit history for an see how many different people are actively editing and reediting and adding to the article. If there are twenty different people participating, the article is being reviewed, possibly more than any other encyclopedia article. If only one person is doing the edits, your bias alert should go up.

But even with the review, there is bias, just as there is in ANY written work.

But, I do know that bits and pieces of it are accreted from other web articles and other sources and the chain of evidence is often lost. And the distilations are not always 100% reliable.

Here's what I do for my own personal research at work and to answer Yahoo Answers questions.

1) Go to Wikipedia as a useful reference and decent synopsis
2) Read the articles referenced in the Wikipedia References
3) Do Yahoo Searches for information found in the Wikipedia articles that you would cite, if it was considered authoritative. From this, you may be able to find more authoritative and original works to cite.

To give you an example, people wanted to know the origin of the symbol ln to represent natural logarithm and what it stood for.

I found the Wikipedia article had some information but my own Yahoo Searches turned up the articles which I think someone else used as a source to edit the article. All roads seemed to be leading back to the same source article by a guy by the name of Jeff Miller. I never found the actual work by Stringham on the Web and never went to the library. I'm not in school any more and don't have time to go to the local university library to find the originating works.

But, that is research. And even another encyclopedia such as Encyclopedia Britannica, while a great and "vetted" source is not without editorial bias and inaccuracies.

I know if I was your college professors, I'd be looking for more than Encyclopedia Britannica and/or Wikipedia citations. I'd be looking for you to do more indepth research than one level deep.(Knowledge Seeker)

There is also Encarta
