As we found out several days ago during class session, several people would still use Wikipedia, even if it is prohibited by their instructors (teachers,professors…etc). Why it is so popular? Firstly, it’s easy to access and it contains everything that simple people want to know, because it is actually created (or could be corrected) by these simple people, except protected articles Secondly, as Wiki itself put it, this free encyclopedia allows so many opportunities to cooperate for people: navigation system, discussion pages, reviews and reverts and so on.   In my personal opinion, people could trust Wikipedia because they always provides readers with references and if at some stage in reading some questions appears, Wikipedia’s texts have links within and search button on right side. Even Wiki works together with Google on limited rights, but no way in order to find more accurate information. Also, about writing on Wiki- in England, for example, it is not so easy – future author should wait for 3 days in order to gain access, in Portuguese, at least 15 editing should be made before publishing. Edits could also be made automatically (“bots”).Owing to Wikipedia so many communities has been created (wiki farms, for instance, could be personal, private wiki on the Web)!

Wiki also provides links to other sources- that is also plus, and do you know how many languages Wiki use for writing? 82- that’s the point! Useful for everyone and used by everyone…I hope, that is not sound as ad J))
