Revealing Wikipedia

Most of the student and teaching community will opt for Wikipedia as the primary source of information.But most of us dont know many amazing facts about this fabulous site.The articles in this site are created and edited by billions of contributor like us around the world.
Due to the above fact it suffers from vandalism(i.e some persons will utilize it for publishing their ads and make a link to anonymous site)and some of its articles contain fake and unverified information.Therefore some persons will not accept the references from Wikipedia.

Despite of criticism and controversies by many experts around the world some of its features marked it apart.
1)Wikipedia is the fifth most viewed website in the world.This may be due to google which gives highest priority to Wikipedia in its search results.
2)It is non commercial which doesnt support ads of any kind in its pages.A survey discovered that when this site supports ads it will earn many billions per year.It will ask for voluntary donation once in a year for its expenses.
3)It is available in more than 200 languages and contains more than billion articles on almost every topic and it is ever increasing.
Last but not least it employs less than 35 persons for maintaining such a large site.
Wikipedia has taken many steps to ensure the reliability of its contents which includes the inclusion of talk page and history page for contributors which is capable of rollback to previous states when it is damaged by vandals.
