Yes, I love Wiki. It's simply helpful when I'm looking forward to have the detailed answer. When I key in the Keyword, I'm waiting for the most completed answers.
But there are also times that I found the answers are not so satisfactory. When I search for the "westward movement" for example, I really don't understand the answer it gives to me.(check it your self).
So, how much do you like Wiki?

I love wikipedia, because contents are contributed by people and it falls under the terms, so you know you get quality. And it usually contains information that a standard encyclopedia don't have, simply because the contents are user-generated. And since the users know what other users wants to see, they put it on the wiki. Stuffs like video games and animes, and other stuffs such as internet phenomenas and controversies may be accessed, dependent on the availability. So I think that wikipedia is a very good website, and I love it, and loved it more the time when we were doing our thesis. Weee.

thanks for your reponse.
Then have you ever tried to add information into the Wiki? Or do you think your adding will be accepted and used?

I never tried to do that. Then can you tell me in detail what will happen when you add informations into Wiki? Do they judge your information first and send you e-mail or something?
Thanks!

I like the site in general, but I have found at least one piece of information on it which is inaccurate. I was looking on the site to see if somebody famous I know (or should I say knew, as we lost touch years ago) is on there. This famous person is, yet whoever entered the article on Wikipedia got the famous person's birth date and birth place wrong.
LOL I'm not sure what "westward movement" is either.

It's suprised to see your story. That would be a big mistake! I mean, it is the celebrities' birthday and birthplace!
Well, then did you complain to Wiki about that?
