[edit] About the pros of Wikipedia
- An encyclopedia that is always accurate, since everyone is welcome to change/ edit something.
-
- This is often put forth as the chief point of wikipedia. On an ordinary encyclopedia you can in general know that the facts are written by a professional that has studied the relevant field, on wikipedia you risk reading articles written by some random person.
- Everyone can edit on Wikipedia. That's a big pro, for 2 persons know more than 1. Imagine what 6,5 billion people (can/ do) know :-)
-
- Unfortunately the number of people with access to internet is far less than 6,5 billion.
- It's nice to wander around in the world called Wikipedia; just take a random topic, search, and let the highlighted words (links) on that page do the rest. Perhaps you started to look some info about Amsterdam, and before you know it, you may end up on a page about toiletpaper (for those of you who want to find out if this specific example is possible; not that I know. It was just a matter of speaking. However, if you do have found the links, let me know :-D)
-
- Amsterdam -> 16th century -> Toilet -> Toilet paper. This path was created with six degrees of wikipedia, that I found on the wikipedia page Six degrees of separation. This page details a general observation about connectivity in networks, and is applicable to pretty much everything.

- About the path; it is currently outdated since the inventions section in the 16th century article was removed. This removal looks like vandalism, but is fairly old(1 month) so I wanted some feedback before I reverted it. Here is another path: Amsterdam->Industrial Revolution->Textile manufacturing->Ply->Toilet paper. In general it is rare to need more than 6 links between any two wikipedia articles.(current, though Textile manufacturing is being merged so this path too is going to become outdated).

[edit] Re: Your EU page
Hi, thanks for your support for my EU portal project, for now it is a restyling, but I would like to change the content a bit, to make it more useful. Talking about the EU inclusion in List of countries by population and others: I would like to have it there unranked, as many many others, but generally there are two kind of people against that: pro-US nuts that want their country to be always at the top, and so they vandalize the articles removing the EU without discussing on the talk page. Then there are people who don't see the political and social importance of the EU and its difference from other supranational organizations (such as NATO, African Union, Mercosur) and don't want to make an exception for it in the lists. They removed it many times, and now they want it in a separate table in the article. We had a vote and the decision was to keep the EU listed with something like 7 pro and 3 against, but they all just ignore the fact. The problem is that most editors here are either from the US or the UK, and in both these countries the EU is not seen under a good eye...
Well, sorry for the length of my answer, anyway, are you a member of WikiProject European Union? It is not very active, we should really do something. --giandrea

[edit] Conservapedia
Just to clarify, Conservapedia is not a project of Wikipedia. Personally, I agree with your point of view, it's a disgusting site, especially the homosexuality article; how can so-called Christians be so hateful towards others? CloudNine 20:35, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
