Other sources

Neverpedia is not the only online source of information about Peter Pan and J. M. Barrie.


 * Wikipedia is one of the most extensive sources outside of Neverpedia. It is highly accurate (in part due to the content it shares with Neverpedia).  Because its focus is on information that is "notable" in general, it has less info about the more "trivial" aspects of the subject (e.g. minor characters, little-known adaptations), and more info about things that are peripheral to the main subject (e.g. the careers of actors who appeared in movie adaptations).


 * JMBarrie.co.uk is easily the most authoritative source, especially about Barrie. It is operated by dramatist Andrew Birkin, who has an excellent relationship with GOSH, knew Nico Llewelyn Davies personally, etc.  It has an unmatched collection of historical materials about Barrie and the Davies family.


 * Citizendium is an attempt to build a more trustworthy alternative to Wikipedia, requiring people to apply for rights to edit articles, using their real names. Although this is a laudable goal, it simply isn't working, with gaping holes in its coverage of content, and its elitism putting off would-be contributors.  At this writing, it doesn't even have a draft article about Peter Pan or J. M. Barrie.


 * Wikia has a wiki for Peter Pan, but the person who created it never really got it going, and these days you're more likely to find random porn on it than anything else.


 * Conservapedia is an attempt to build an alternative to Wikipedia but with American nationalism and a certain brand of "theological correctness" being more important than factual accuracy. Among its errors:
 * "[Peter Pan] appears most famously in the book Peter Pan and Wendy and the play Peter Pan, or the Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up, but also in other works by Barrie." One other work, actually: Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens.  This is simply sloppy research.
 * "In the last hundred years, Peter Pan has become well-known in Britain and, aided by an appearance in a Disney film, the world at large". Actually, Peter Pan He was already hugely popular in the U.S. the year after his debut, five decades before the Disney film, and well-known in other countries too.  Again, poor research, and a bit of nationalist bias: assuming that it took an American company to popularize the character.
 * "In the stories, Peter Pan was an orphan". No, he flew away from home, with his parents very much alive.  Probably poor research, but it's an assumption that betrays the author's bias toward the inviolability of the 20th-century nuclear family.
