Discussion:Wiki

Wiki is a diary of world’s speculation of visions or experience or just opinion. However, it is like a reflection of our monologue. May be, I am not sure because it is also a question how many people of the world have access to wiki or how many people of the entire world can read or write? There fore, readers you agree with me that we (wiki readers) are minority. In general wiki is a bunch of thoughtful codes or knowledge that gives us a sense of different directions but specific decision like discussion. Even though, discussion can be fact.

          Wiki is our primary search about anything that we get interested. The other way, to get involved with wiki is reading, writing, editing or adding own experience on it. All these multi experiences give readers chance to verify their own knowledge and allow putting their opinion on wiki. So, involvement is the key that make wiki popular. At the same time, this involvement makes people responsible as well, just not to write improper way or to lie. The good thing is; there are special regional editors that always try to look over the wiki documents. However, there is no cent percent guarantee of its purity. That is why we all know that it is not a good idea to use wiki as resources of any documentation. There is another good reason for that is nobody checking those entire documentations timely manner. But life, history and everything are changing with time. For example, today’s Manhattan city did not look like ten years ago nor would be after ten years. So, if somebody wrote about it ten yeas ago, it is not going to be look like today’s Manhattan. At the same time it is impossible to review all data in wiki systematically. It is just huge.

            So far wiki can be used in 90 different languages that help people to join wiki around the world, even not knowing English. To write or editing, you need to log in to wikipedia or register an account. Wiki encourage you to submit reference sources about your articles. So, you can create the page including your references. Wiki page works as like any other blog page but it has more flexibility for group. For example, you are four members in your group and you are making a web blog together or planning to go vacation together. The first case for web blog you all four members can have access on the same blog and you all can put raw materials or suggestions and ask or direct someone what to do next in order to create a easy, faster and comparatively better web blog. Not only that, by working with this process, you do not have to see or talk each other. You can join that page any time you want to. Because, it is possible to put directions on the same blog any time and you all have the access on it, you do not need to maintain a specific time to meet your other fellows on web. The second case for vacation, you all can share your opinion, experience, plans or split duties and update everyone together or just ask their opinions. Is it not cool? And you know involvement is the key that makes everyone feel good and every one of your group would be the same page, same time.

               There fore we can say, wiki is about involvement and sharing that make everyone part of it. Wiki slogan should be: wiki is sharing and sharing is caring.
