Thanks for alerting me to Consumerpedia. In return, I’ll alert you that that Berkeley is spelled with two e’s. You’re forgiven since you live in Italy. But this does illustrate one of the issues with tagging.

Sorry, it was a typo. I have to start reviewing my posts before publishing them

Well, I managed to get a double “that” in my post and I did review it before posting.

I am interested in the importance of spelling in online retrieval. It’s one thing to use creative spelling in an IM message, but if you get creative with somebody else’s URL, you won’t find the page. So spelling is perhaps more important now than in previous generations.

So I want to know does any body else use wikipedia and what for?
what was the most informatibve artical you found there?
What was the wierdest one you found?
I use wikipedia mostly durring my lunch time at work to just read up on stuff. the most informative artical I found was on the mineing and refineing
process for copper (because I learned about the job I have, and got to show off to co-workers ;p) the most interesting was probably on cheese witch I
actualy e-mailed to my self so I could finish reading it after work.
oh well, got wiki?
