It's the coolest, most in-depth encyclepaedia I know. Even vague, fictional subjects are treated as fairly as other, academic, scientific questions so no-one feels left out that their favourite topic isn't treated fairly. It's also up-to-date as well. Also its very objective.
It's all free too, no registers, no paying at all and comes in these languages:
English, German, French, Japanese, Italian, Polish, Dutch, Portuguese, Spanish, and "Svenska" (don't know what this is)
There are many links for other articles in each articles and ALSO external links to other places in the internet for topics relating to the Wiki-article.
Go there, it's so cool. It will have any article about just about anything.

its a online encyclopedia except that the information on it can change and is done by other users who know about the information- this is because you, the public can change the information if say you have anything to add or the information isn't good enough.

--- AND MORE IMPORTANTLY --It can be EDITED by any moron who thinks fit. The result is that for all you know it could be forever giving WRONG INFORMATION.
What good is that to anybody? An "information" system that cannot be relied on???????????
