    Netencyclo provides you with information on the term it deems closest to what you want. Also, make sure to scroll down through the different reference sources. Depending on the type of information you looked up, the different sources may provide you with varied types of information.

    Netencyclo always shows all of the results for which we have information. If you do not find the information you are looking for, then it is likely that the topic you have looked up does not appear in any of our content sources ... yet.

  6. Can Netencyclo tell me about moral values and the philosophy of life?

    Our Netencyclo Pages provide instant answers to simple queries about people, places, things, etc. It is good at answering Who-Is and What-Is questions. However, Netencyclo is neither a natural-language search engine nor a human-powered search service. We recommend that you consult your clergy regarding morality, or the philosophy department of your local college regarding the meaning of life.

  7. How can I submit a correction to Netencyclo?

    Most of the information displayed in the Netencyclo window is copyrighted by our content source partners. However, if you are referring to an entry from Wikipedia -- the user-edited encyclopedia -- we invite you to edit this article yourself, directly at the source.

    Start by creating an account at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page. Once logged in, you'll be able to browse to the article you want to edit and make the appropriate changes. Next time Netencyclo updates our content from Wikipedia, your modification will appear (assuming another Wikipedia member doesn't modify it again).

    In most other cases, we cannot edit the content ourselves due to copyright issues. But if you send it to our Support Team, we will forward your message on to the company whose content we have licensed. Make sure to include details of the Netencyclo page you are referring to.

  8. Why don't you have an entry on me/my company/my cat?

    Netencyclo strives to provide the most authoritative definitions and explanations available on the Internet today. At this stage, however, we are not integrating individual submissions of links and proprietary content. Rather, we are concentrating our efforts on collections of reliable, authoritative information that we deem to be of value to our user base.

    As for businesses, Netencyclo currently contains information on public companies traded on NYSE and NASDAQ. We expect to expand to cover other exchanges, including international bourses.

    One of our sources - Wikipedia - allows individuals to edit the content directly. If you would like to add or modify a Wikipedia article, browse to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page and create an account. Next time Netencyclo updates our content from Wikipedia, your modification will appear (assuming another Wikipedia member doesn't modify it again).

  9. How often do you update your content?

    Our Content Integration team works hard to keep Netencyclo dynamic and relevant at all times. We receive regular updates from all of our content source partners.
