Do you know about Wikipedia, the always-expanding (free) internet encyclopedia, written collaboratively by volunteers from all around the world, that ANYone can edit or correct.
I think that's awesome!!! Please stay away if you are a prankster.
The name Wikipedia is a portmanteau of the words wiki (a type of collaborative website) and encyclopedia.
There are more than 75,000 active contributors working on some 8,700,000 articles in more than 250 languages. As of today, there are 2,058,778 articles in English.
Every day hundreds of thousands of visitors from around the world make tens of thousands of edits and create thousands of new articles to enhance the knowledge held by the Wikipedia encyclopedia.
I think this Wikipedia Internet Encyclopedia is one of the great things about the world wide web.
People always say, "Why don't you Google it?"!
People should perhaps say, "Why don't you Wikipedia it?"!
Don't you agree with me?
Do you use it much?
