Millions of articles, in many different languages and formats.... Information and fun facts of topics pertaining to anything and everything.... information on a rock band to information on yesterday's earthquake, Wikipedia is the place to go.
Wikipedia is one of the world's largest online encyclopedias, and it is growing at a phenomenal rate every day. Thousands of users all over the world post information on Wikipedia every day, and millions of other users benefit from Wikipedia.
Wikipedia is an amazing thing to me, not only does it allow random people from random places in the world to express there knowledge, it allows this all the while having thousands of personnel scouring the articles, and fixing where spammers and other morons, post either inappropriate stuff or mess up perfectly good articles. Wikipedia is a non-profit organization, and they have made this site purely for the benefit of others. Even though in today's world, profit and money means everything.
What I like about Wikipedia is the information it brings on the main page of the site, and also the many different languages that articles can be written, translated, or expressed in. On the Main page of Wikipedia you will see the, Featured Article of the Day, as well as fun facts, picked randomly for the day, featured picture's of the days that are both interesting and non-crude, and the most interesting and the part that I like the most, an "On this Day" section where it gives you famous events that happened on the present day.
This is a very wonderful site and it is a dot org, which means that it is government approved. No only that but for some reason school teachers have resented the site and have condemned anyone who likes or appreciates what it has to offer. This just adds fuel to the fire in which it makes Wikipedia a must go, in terms of having to learn about different subjects.
On a final note, I would like to add my own voice to the thousands/millions of other's out there that use and appreciate what Wikipedia has to offer. I would also like to add my recommendation to go and use this site, whenever you have research to do for school, as well as any other reason to look up information.
