Wikipedia is the fifth most popular website in the world. It has about 365 million readers. It was started in 2001 by two Americans but it isn’t written by them. Their original website became a ‘wiki’, a website that visitors can change and add information to. In 2007, approximately 1,700 articles were being added every day. ‘Wiki Wiki’ is a Hawaiian expression which means ‘quick’. Wikipedia articles can change quickly when things change in the world. Some people think this is a problem, because articles aren’t always correct. Culture and Arts are the most

popular topic. 14% of articles on Wikipedia are about geography and places. There are more than 280 different language versions of Wikipedia. The English version has a total of over four million articles.
