Wiki new found Growth
Recently society has found out the true meaning of Wikipedia it is simply a free online encyclopedia. The name is a combination of Hawaiian words that means quick. The words "wiki” and "encyclopedia" were both used in this term in order to form Wikipedia that we all have used today in some for shape or form. Updated any and everyday in over 100 languages and also contains over one and a half million articles. There are 11 other language editions with over 100,000 articles each, and over 50 languages with over 10,000 articles each. Now a day any consumer with an internet connection and a web browser can prepare for publication over any type of contents that Wikipedia may contain within its resources.
