Get the The Wikipedias mug.The Wikipedia Effect is the tendancy for inquisitive people to become caught in an endless series of pages on the popular open-encyclopedia, "Wikipedia", to which they are forced to read every single page they've opened.
This tends to happen thanks to Wikipedia's inter-linking model, which links important words in a particular article, to an entire article on that word. The trend can then easily cascade from there, ending in dozens of pages that a user finds interesting.

A game that is played on the website Wikipedia.org. In this game, two or more people go from one Wikipedia page to the other by clicking on the blue highlighted words. The starting and finishing pages are determined by either clicking on the random page option or simply by choosing pages in advance. The winner is determined either by who gets to the finishing page in the shortest amount of time, or by who gets there with the fewest clicks. If one computer is faster or slower than the other, it is more reasonable to decide the winner by number of clicks. You cannot use search or the toolbox list of links. You can only go back if the page hasnt fully loaded or if it is a dead end. It is a good game to play when you are supposed to be working.
Jeff got from Willy Wonka to Optimus prime in only seven clicks! Now that is impressive!

Get the The Wikipedia Game mug.A high degree of accuracy in a generally editable information system (like Wikipedia) which is derived from the law of large numbers: while some inaccuracies may be occasionally saved into the system, the number of edits per hour with accurate information makes the system "self-healing." Thus, over time these social information systems tend to be statistically more accurate than similar systems published by a closed source, such as a small number of editors.
While Bob's Game Maps are pretty good, the GameMap Wiki tends to have better, more timely information. Because of the Wikipedia Effect, the GameMap Wiki gets new updates to game worlds near real-time, whereas Bob takes several weeks to get his updates done.
