Wikipedia

A project to create the most accurate and complete free-content encyclopedia on the Internet. Written as a collaboration of users across the Internet. Basically, the UrbanDictionary.com version of an encyclopedia, without the witless comments.

An article on Wikipedia helped me write my Astronomy paper.

wikinoument

The part after a movie's over when you read its wikipedia entry to look up random trivia or plot details you might have missed.

ex1: Man, the wikinoument for Eraserhead was amazing. I had no idea that George Lucas asked David Lynch to direct the first Star Wars.

ex2: I don't feel fully satisfied with a movie until the wikinoument. That's when I find relevant backstory or interesting things that happened in pre-production.

Wiki Golf

Choosing two completely random pages on wikipedia and seeing how many pages it takes you to get from one to the other using only links from the page you're on.

I was playing Wiki Golf the other day and went from Elton John to Phosphoric Acid in 13 pages.
