In doing searches it is important to know the language and context of what you are searching for. Wikipedia gives that context.

I is a good description of the process.

I think this has been achieved on the discussion of global warming but only after a lot of discussion.

It is one of the news services I look at every morning. The reporting seems less politically motivated and more interested in sharing a concern.

I still have an old world book encyclopedia but it is way out of date and is more of historical interest.

One example is the article on Islam. My printer did not like the type patterns even though I was using a postscript printer. I was able to print most of the article.

The people doing the editing seem to be doing their job in a supportive manner.

I recently looked at some of the sister projects: wikibooks and wiki university. Wikibooks ddi not seem to have many completed entries. Wikiuniversity was also short of completed listings. I will keep checking back for new material.

I used information from that article to write a paper about group prayer in different religions.

Wikipedia is a good place to start.

In most cases it gives me a perspective to do further research.

Some are a lot better than others. I prefer the articles with links to other information. I found the one on ISLAM very good.

I recently worked on a project that was completed using emails. One person was the coordinator. It was a disaster. Using a wiki would have been better if that person would have allowed it.

It was a clear presentation. Now to implement it.

The idea is still a great one. Mac OSX 10.6 server includes a wiki engine in the software.

I may be caught at some time but I will not limit my curiosity because someone might find it offensive. I do need to be more careful.
