hi all,
i am not sure how long Wikipedia has been around but i discovered it in 2005 when i Googled something (don't remember what) and it came up with a search result from Wikipedia. been a huge Wikipedia aficionado ever since. so much so that even my friends make fun of me. but i didn't become a Wikipedia contributor until recently. i LOVE this website. what i like most about it is that anyone anywhere in the world with access to the internet can contribute and add to the wealth of information. and it is so easy to edit and add information that you don't have to be computer savvy to do it.
if you are a recent visitor, i would like to say welcome to wikipedia and i am sure you will enjoy it just as much as i do, may be even more.
