Did you know you can have Wikipedia – the all inclusive, all knowing, unofficial central source of all information on the internet – on your own pc? *

* Never heard of Wikipedia?

Almost all of its articles can be edited by anyone with access to the site, and it has about 100,000 regularly active contributors. As of August 2012, there are editions of Wikipedia in 285 languages. It has become the largest and most popular general reference work on the Internet, ranking sixth globally among all websites on Alexa and having an estimated 365 million readers worldwide.
Wikipedia was launched in January 2001 by Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger.Sanger coined the name Wikipedia, which is a portmanteau of wiki (a type of collaborative website, from the Hawaiian word wiki, meaning “quick”) and encyclopedia.
