Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org) is an online encyclopedia (book or set of books containing alphabetically arranged information on many subjects). In Wikipedia information is not organized into books but into pages.
You should use it as any other encyclopedia: when there is an issue interesting you,open the site, enter the text you are interested and read the article found.

The little box is the search dialog box. Just type the related subject you are searching for in that box and click the button next to it. Wikipedia will open a detailed page on that particular subject you are looking for.
Glad to be of any help.

Just point your browser to: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia - type in what ever your looking for in the search box and go from there.
Also take what you read there with a grain of salt sense people are able to edit it at will.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki
Wikipedia is an online reference in many languages. The front page will allow you to specify the language you would like to use. http://wikipedia.org/
Wikipedia allows users to add and edit entries, has a community portal(forum) as well as being a reference.
Hope that helps,
Good Luck.

its more or less set up like a dictionary or encyclopedia.
its has some things wrong it in, and some other issues with it (being hacked etc..)
