Today is birthday of Wikipedia

It seemed that the "Wiki" was always! But it is not a fact... Rather, it is a fact that "Wiki" just a little girl and today she is celebrating its 13th birthday.

 

Thirteen years ago on this day it became available the first version of Wikipedia. The idea of free encyclopedia born in 2001 in the heads of two Americans: Larry Sanger (Larry Sanger and Jimmy Walesa (Jimmy Wales). In March of that year appeared the website for Nupedia, which is completely free of charge could go any Internet user with the right to modify and replicate in whole or in part the contents of the encyclopedia.

 

However, with time for development and speed up the search of the site was transferred to the wiki-engine. Translated from the Hawaiian language wiki means "quick". In search of new ways for the development of all articles from this site for Nupedia was transferred to the new website - still alive now Wikipedia.com and from that moment began the era of "Wikipedia".

 

The main idea of the website "Wikipedia" that each person having access to the Internet, on the website "Wikipedia" has every right to share their knowledge, which later will become the property of all, since the information appears immediately and quickly. But remember that the information on the website may not be completely objective, and the reader always has the right to leave their personal opinion about the published information.
