5 information you didn't know about Wikipedia

Wikipedia is the sixth ranking in Alexa in terms of daily visits to the site, where this site is the scientific encyclopedia of many people, everything you search for in Google find a result in Wikipedia, this site includes a group of volunteers who provide this information to the public and I mean volunteers Those who publish information in this encyclopedia do not want to pay any material. Although we have found this encyclopaedia almost daily, there is information that we have not yet learned about Wikipedia, which I will try in this post to touch on some of them ...

 5 information you didn't know about Wikipedia

 * Are more accurate than you imagine:


Some people might think that since anyone can share and write in Wikipedia, the information you provide is not so accurate and correct that before 2004 university professors advised students not to rely on Wikipedia for all their information. On the contrary, In 2004 confirms that the information provided by this encyclopedia is accurate by 99.7% and almost of course not a few, and there were reports in 2005 that confirm this statement also has been prepared as a very important source of information for all scholars and researchers since most volunteers to write in it They are knowledgeable people T High.

* Initially the experts were only:

Wikipedia was created by businessman Jimmy Wales, who stated at the time of its creation that only one expert was allowed to publish it. Unfortunately, a year after its creation, the encyclopedia had only 24 articles, leaving Jimmy Wales with his decision to allow ordinary people with expertise In a few months, until 2017, there were more than 40 million articles in the encyclopaedia of 290 languages.

* People believe that Jimmy Wales writes everything on Wikipedia:

At a time when the encyclopedia flourished very much, Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales received many letters asking him to edit some subjects, thinking from the audience that he was the one to write everything but if we look at it on the other hand we find it impossible to publish a person All this amount of articles individually.

* Wikipedia affected by phone:

Yes, the emergence of modern phones has resulted in a reduction in the number of editors in Wikipedia because the Wikipedia's editing interface does not work well with the phones and also because anyone who wants to share information these days resort to create a site to share information with the public and then throw Profit from behind that other than Wikipedia.

* Wikipedia does not have it all:

People believe that Wikipedia includes everything about information. Personally, I thought so, but the opposite appeared to me. This encyclopaedia most of the writers are Western and Oriental, so you find it very lacking in information about the southern side and I mean the places in Africa. This place does not find the required result in Wikipedia and the reason for this as we said that 90% of the publishers are not from Africa, how they will write about it!
