Other online encyclopedias

[I don't know if there's a thread/section for this already, forum is big and full of threads.]
Here's a list, courtesy of WP: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_o ... yclopedias
I know Justapedia is mentioned on this forum a few times, but I don't really know of any others, other than RationalWiki and Conservapedia which have been around forever.
Which ones do you think are actually a good resource and while none seem to be able to overtake Wikipedia, some seem to provide a valuable resource in spite of WP's existence.
Scholarpedia seems alright. Larry Sanger started Citizendium, seems like a copy of early WP, don't know what it's like.
The WP list is not exhaustive, because it lists "well-known" or "notable" encyclopedias, so I guess all the ones with an article about them on the internet.
