Wiki

Once again I've been here and done that. Obviously I am just not good at keeping my blog up to date. I have used Wikipedia a lot. I find it very useful when try to find authors works etc. Up until now I have not really taken the time to find out how it worked but now I have a better understanding of it. Like a lot of things you cannot believe everything you read but I do find it a very useful tool. I suppose in some ways if anyone can add, edit or delete content it would help to keep content honest. And how do you know which version is the correct one. If an article is altered severely who makes the final decision as to which is the correct content. Actually the more I think about this the more questions I have so maybe I had better do a bit more reading.
Wiki a Hawaiian word for fast was originally described as the simplest online database that could possibly work. Someone in another article suggested Wiki stood for What I Know Is! Oh well guess I'd better keep reading.
