= -Wikipedia- = "'The free Encyclopedia'"Wikipedia is a free website, made by Jimmy Wales in 2000. On the website you can create information pages about different topics, but if you write something insulting or incorrect it will be fixed by an other user.

History
The site was created in 2000, as part of the Nupedia, but the difference was, on Nupdeia only experts of the topics can write, on Wikipedia everyone can write about a topic, he/she likes or knows. It's name came from a Hawaiian word for "quick", because as soon as you have written something it's out on the internet. The site became an independent website in 2001, and now it has 2.5 million articles in English alone, and other ones on 250 different laguages. Nowdays if you want some information about nuclear physics or just want to know about the genesis of Wikipedia, this site will be the first one one the browsing results.
