In, “The Charms Of Wikipedia” article, I know that Wikipedia is a website that pretty much acts like an encyclopedia. I can search anything I want and there will be an article based on the subject I searched. I find this website very helpful for homework and personal research. The growth of Wikipedia is very appealing to me because I’ve been using Wikipedia for years now; when the website was on its early stages and wasn’t popular at the time since it was new. Now throughout the years, Wikipedia has expanded so much and received recognition. As a result, it gained a huge audience and the website has undergone through several changes and revisions not only to their articles but to the website itself, like the homepage and menu bars. I find this very convenient, personally, because as Wikipedia grows, so does the content it carries. A few years ago, I remember I used to get frustrated when Wikipedia didn’t have articles on subjects I wanted to find and learn about. Now, in today’s world, the website has an article on almost anything; whether that ranges from music genres, movies, celebrities, food, hardware, to languages, politics, government, history, etc. I also felt that Wikipedia wasn’t just a website, but more like an online community data base, where anyone can contribute to the website. I’m a user of Wikipedia and I’ll proudly say that I also contributed to the website by adding content to articles that I have a great interest in and am very knowledgeable in.
