Wikipedia is a global and multilingual web-based cooperative free-content encyclopedia. It exists as a wiki, a type of website that allows visitors to edit its content. Wikipedia is written collaboratively by volunteers, allowing most articles to be changed by anyone with access to a computer and an internet connection. Fascinating! Check it out!
