Happy Birthday Wikipedia!!

According to this morning's Guardian Wikipedia is the most widely used reference work in the world.  I'm not surprised. Notwithstanding some of its shortfalls it is a tremendous resource. And it's free. 

It is a source of information & knowledge for the almost any subject matter, from the most complex to the most banal.  The fact that it is maintained by volunteers is simply astonishing and is 
an example of the real potential and benefits of social networking.  It is entirely funded by voluntary donations.  So, if you use Wikipedia why not make a small donation today as a birthday gift to the world! Happy Birthday Wikipedia!
