This blog entry is about my association with wikipedia . without any doubt wikipedia is masterpiece and kudos to jimmy wales for thinking about this . For just clarification wikipedia is online website , part of wikimedia foundation ,and this website contains free articles ranging from science , music, movies etc.
Recently , wiki was asking for donation for funding ( this is non profit organization ). Everyday ,i used to look for how much was donated on that given day . I was surprised to see huge response from wiki fans . Six millions were donated very soon . i wished to donate some money , which i don't have ,may be in future i shall be able to to do such sort of donations. Letter of thanks from wiki founder for support from fans was memorable . Explanation of where the money will be used was spot on . One can learn from there how to take people into confidence . I give thumbs-up to wiki people to carry on their good work . It was surprising to know wikipedia has only 23 people who maintain the website .
Coming to my association with wiki , i am big google user and wiki pages come usually on first page . Movie reviews articles of wikipedia are really good . Computer related articles are equally good , i have referred them most of the time to know development in this field . I become only happy thinking about wikipedia 5 years from now . This is revolution , and i wish this revolution to become culture in coming future . May , wikipedia be there whenever we require that for help . Long live wiki.......8 year old now ( started in jan 2001 ) ......get stronger from here on we are with you .
