msdomains, according to an article on Domain Name Wire, Epik gets its content via an ontology through Evri. Epik has an exclusive license to use this content:

You're right about Epik getting some of its city descriptions from Wikipedia as I see links showing that that's where Epik got its information from.

Looks like some of the information may be pulled from Traveler.com as well.

I got some names at EPIK, their sites look good! but my revenue is less! I used to have good traffic on some sites, but the revenue after epik is poor. I dont know if i should try it how much longer!At least 1 more month, then i think ,it will be time for a review.
york.co.in
flying.in

I'm going to give it a full month, and then I'll evaluate.

I'm surprised about your domains - york.co.in and flying.in don't strike me as domains that would get a lot of traffic.

actually the traffic was not flying in really! but decent non the less, for a parked name. I see the traffic stats there and it has really been very poor. (with york mostly) . maybe some statistical issue.

They just approved one of my .in domains.... so will provide an update in September as to how well its performed. We'll give them a few weeks to prove their worth
