Types of wiki

For Research – If you plan on researching using wikipedia, just keep an eye out for ‘citation needed’. Besides that, you’re in good shape. A good tactic for effective researching is using the search bar once, and then using that topic to link to other topics. For News – Wikinews can be used as a simple, effective news source. The stories are updated very quickly, and you can even RSS it. For Sharing – If you’re an ‘expert’ on a certain topic, don’t hesitate to spread your wealth of knowledge using Wikipedia. For Quotes – Wikiquotes is an awesome resource for finding quotes. Searching is quick and accurate, and the pages are kept simple so you can really find what you’re looking for. For Species? – Yeah, I know how much you’re all interested in species (sorry, biology gurus) but hey, you never know when you might need the info. They’re listed and categorized in a hierarchical manner, so it’s pretty easy to find your way around (if you can pronounce complex Latin). For Reading – I didn’t know about this one until recently, but it’s another sweet resource. Wikisource provides over 72,000 pages of literature texts. That could last you a while. For School – Of course Wikipedia itself comes in handy for school work, but there’s also the seldom-known (at least where I’m from) Wikibooks for text books. Full textbooks are available, and are provided in PDF format. If you’re still in school, this is another great resource. For Meta – Wiki software base.Only if you are interested in Open source. For images,sounds and videos – All shared material,without any copyrights violation.
