-'''WikiAlpha''' is a free online wiki [[open content|open encyclopedia]], journal and [[news source]] site that anyone can sign up and contribute to. The site was first launched using MediaWiki, a free online wiki hosting service provider, on 19 June 2011 by [[User:Richard|Richard]] and [[User:Govind|Govind]].

-WikiAlpha is an alternative to Wikipedia, where the main difference is that our deletion policy is far more lenient with regard to notability requirements.  Basically, WikiAlpha is a near-indiscriminate collection of information in the form of articles on ''any'' topic: you can create an article about the band you just started, your pet dog, yourself, your house - as long as your content does not fall under our [[WikiAlpha:CSD|speedy deletion policy]], it will likely remain on the site forever!

-The rise of [[Wikipedia]]'s aggressive deletion policies particularly regarding 'non-notable' topics and articles published by Wikipedia newbies has been one of the primary motivations for creating WikiAlpha. The creators [[User:Richard]] and [[User:Govind]] feel that Wikipedia no longer serves the public interest as an encyclopedia that 'anyone can edit.' Seeking to expand on the concept of a publicly modifiable real-time publication, we have created WikiAlpha to serve this need.
