Wikipedia, a home of all

Wikipedia is an absolutely fantastic source of everything. An open encyclopedia, able to be edited by the common man or the fabled rocket scientist. If you don't know of it, check it out! It really is an experience, and from that day on it will be the first thing you turn to, even before Google.
From well-known things like chords to more oblique things like a little known game I play called Utopia it seems Wikipedia has it all.

A sub section of the whole Wiki culture is also Wikibooks, books that can be created by anyone. This isn't quite as filled as Wikipedia, most probably as articles are much easier to write and add to than full blown literary creations.

That brings me to my next thought, should I make a Wikibook? I go there, see a title, and open it with a smile, only to find it's empty. Empty you say? Well, yes, no-one has written it yet...
What gives you the permission to write a Wikibook? Well, that's the point, equal rights, equal world, the Wiki doesn't discriminate whether you are a PhD scientist or a young kid, as long as what you write is legible and sensical.

Thus, I am to write/contribute to a Wikibook!
Thus, I am going to contribute to The Written Word, of which I at least have elementary experience, and something is better than nothing, correct?

I am off to contribute, so fair the well, and I may drop by again soon.
