Is it a WP:Reliable Source as well? Reading their
about page -
http://www.eoearth.org/eoe/about - it seems trustworthy...
It's a tertiary source, like any encyclopedia should be. Most (all?)
of their actual content so far is repackaged material from NIST, which
I presume would be US government Public Domain. I'd call that a
reasonable source cited properly.
