A man and his dream !!!!. Review on Wikipedia

http://www.wikipedia.com This review is very dear to my heart, I respect knowledge, be it in bits, bytes, chunks or

Clusters upon multi layered clusters loaded onto serial hard disks, digital disks, magnetic

Disks etc.*

I am content with myself after knowing Mr. Jimmy Wales, he is a person, and I would like my children to emulate, he believes in a world where every single person must have free access to sum of all human knowledge.

http://www.principalvoices.com (A brief about him can be found here)

This man is on a mission, a very huge mission, any person who can make generous contributions

to this man's mission will actually be a part of many future generations of our online world.

Helping the cause of this man is helping in building a new world of OPEN SOURCE KNOWLEDGE.

This open source world is where knowledge is available for copying, modification and

redistribution to all, already his website has 19 million articles, I am planning to add a few

articles of myself to this site. Because this website information is a part of community

(you and me) edited encyclopedia available in 125 different languages of our world. wow !!

Is there a bigger idealist than Mr. Jimmy Wales, let billion dollar earning companies lend him

a helping hand, if you cant find him, he will be busy making a pitch to philanthropists of our

world in a busy executive lounge.

He has a community controlled search engine called WIKIA, open source search engine, community edited and the SAUCE of this engine is known to everybody. This search engine is being made available in 65 languages till now. There is WIKIMEDIA on its way.

I have found many links to https://wikipedia.org when I am making my searches, the details of their

page are astounding and complete. You can search word meanings, news topics, sciences, maths, history, events, descriptions any thing which comes to your mind on https://wikipedia.org, If a

thing exists, it is there on https://wikipedia.org, if a event happened it is here.

You must check out the details to understand the meaning of my words. Recently I searched a

Hindi film name, I found all about its story, plot, actors, directors etc., where else !!! on

http://www.wikipedia.org, So also great and detailed is their DICTIONERY, called wikitionery, the

amount of description to words are a pleasure to browse.

I will start with the structure of the site, https://wikipedia.org this address opens up a globe

with many listed languages, you select a language, I select ENGLISH, the main page opens up. The structure is as follows :-

There are other links like Editing, Overview, Questions, Help, Categories, A-Z index. etc.,

I always enjoy **TODAY'S FEATURED ARTICLE.

*This is a exciting article where some important topic is displayed already edited and ready

for our reference and consumption. I found a detailed article about WEATHER MAPPING, when did

this start and what are its applications etc.,

TELEFON HIRMONDO = Longest running telephone newspaper.

Aphid Brevicoryne Bassicae = Walking Mustard Bomb, it uses glucosinolates as chemical defense

against predators.

Is this information wonderful or what ?You can start your own new article and come back after

few days, you article will be so much improved, edited and added to its essence, you yourself

could never have done it alone. You can also serve as a VIRTUAL LIBRARIAN under wikipedia

volunteers.

There are BULLETIN BOARDS, PROJECTS, RESOURCES and a host of other activities, all helping and building and constructing for everyone's benefit. Free dictionary, free news content, free

quotation collections, free text books, free species classifications, free learning material,

free media pictures, just cannot name them all.

Before I end I must mention why wikipedia is a advertisement free site, because they don't want

to get influenced in their information content by the sponsors or the sponsor products. So if

you want to maintain impartial, prejudice free information, wikipedia.org is the name and place.

Abundant source of information, Abundant source of information, I am not repeating myself, but

I fail to describe in normal words, how vast this ONLINE ENCYCLOPEDIA is. Just visit the site

without need and when in need both days you will get what you want.

Here wishing more scholars joining as editors on wikipedia and more millionaires donating to

the Himalayan project at hand on wikipedia.

Yo!  wikipedia made precious knowledge made free to acquire.!!!
