Wikipedia Activity

It is very interesting that Wikipedia has people as the "knowledge keepers" for all the information that is posted. I knew that people were able to change the information, but I did not know that people dedicated their time to make sure "their" information is the currect one included. I change some of the information on the Bruce Lee page and I will check later to see if anyone change "my" information.
As fas the comparison between Wikipedia English, Simple English and Brittanica I was surprised on my Bruce Lee search on the difference in quantity of content between the three searches. Brittanica and Simple English only included very basic information, while tht regular Wikipedia site includes pages and pages of detail information about the subject. I did not know about the Wikipadia Simple English version and it is true that it can be very helpful for younger students or students with special needs like ELL students.
