The most popular educational tool on the Web
Wikipedia is a free, multilingual encyclopedia project operated by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation. Its name is a portmanteau of the words wiki (a technology for creating collaborative websites) and encyclopedia. Wikipedia's 10 million articles, about a quarter of which are in English, have been written collaboratively by volunteers around the world, and almost all of its articles can be edited by anyone who can access the Wikipedia website. Launched in 2001 by Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger, it is currently the largest and most popular general reference work on the Internet.

Wikipedia is a good "first research" tool before diving into books or related internet pages. Highly recommended for anyone with a curious mindset.
Wiki's they use a strange language to create them, but just the idea that there is a location, where anyone in the world can contribute add a page, and post up information, is just what the net is about. Unfortunately not always 100% accurate, but a good research starting point none the less.
I want a wiki in my head. Sure it could have more advanced features but then it probably would have as much rich and useful content.
Who doesn;t love Wikipedia?
Wiki just owns ok?
Very good and easy to use but still need many improvements regarding the interface and reliability.
Great collection of information.
eu gosto, apesar de achar muito feia
Great for obsucre stuff, overviews and potential links. Should never be allowed to be cited in any educational works at any level.
Great source for getting general info. <3
Spend all of my time on Wikipedia, on there everyday, finding out about something new.
it's realy a big help
I love wikipedia, even though most of my teachers tell us not to go on wikipedia, because it can be "unreliable" (which it could be) i still go on it for school work.
great for doing my homework :P
I use it daily, now that I think of it. Great site, great community, great knowledge.
