Whenever i need to know something, I go to Wikipedia.Wikipedia is the BEST encyclopedia ever!Not only is it FREE, but it has millions of articles due to the fact that theres 7,000,000,000 of us to edit it. NOTHING on Wikipedia is wrong, because if it was, it would be deleted. GO WIKIPEDIA!

Wiki is controlled and manipulated by the very controllers who give the public there false reality... They always give us our heroes and this is no different...

I was looking for the history of Wales when I found this video. I guess Jimmy Wales in the tags is what made it show up, but I did not realise wikis had been around so long.
