A milestone recently for Wikipedia. The online encylopedia that is really just a big wiki now has over 1 million pages. Read more about this at E-School News Online. The best part of all of this is that it is free -- free knowledge to anyone who wants to read it. Isn't that a neat characteristic of the Internet, the ability to chip in together as members of a worldwide community and give each other free access to knowledge.
BTW - Rich Culatta here in the College of Ed helped create a wiki website for worldhistory.com where you can go to a specific date in history and add important events to the timeline. Someone needs to go there and post April 6, 1820!
