Wikipedia

Post by baalazai »

Many of you might not be aware of something called a wiki. Basically, its the next step in web page evolution: it provides a means to update web pages not just view them. On a collaborative project, this is extremely useful.

Here's the link:
http://en.wikipedia.org

I provide this link because I think the next one really hits home as to what it means to be wiki:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_parts_slang

If you wanted to add to it, you can.....

Enjoy!

Wikipedia is awesome.

Come on, you all can help wikipedia if you want:

- Add article on an topic you know about.
- Add comment on a topic.
- Proof read pages (typo or fact errors).
- Donate a few bucks for bandwidth.
- Translate if you know two+ languages ( wiki are multi-langual, f.x. there's no.wikipedia.com for us norwegians, but english is by far the most developed one)

You don't have to be an expert to add things. I made this article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Langeleik, and it's poorly written, but that's better than no article at all!

You all may want to check out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everquest


Note: red link means there's no article about the topic yet. Feel free to make one, even a stub ;) ( a stub is a short article where a full tree should have been: as in "Everquest is an MMORPG made by Verant and run by Sony" )

Have fun ;)


EDIT: I forgot to tell you the two important things you need to know before adding anything to Wikipedia:

1) Try to have a neutral point of view ( PoV)

2) NEVER EVER post copyrighted material on wikipedia.

But this info and more should be presented for you when you edit. Editing is very simple to learn. And there's a tutorial too. You can't go wrong :)
