Exploring Wikipedia

Hi Friends,

Have you heard about Wikipedia? Yes, I am sure you might have seen atleast once ?


You can find anything in Wikipedia ? But I want to share some more information regarding the Wikipedia… Read full the mail. :)


I will not talk about History of Wikipedia and all, but want to take you to Wikipedia at Glance and how to take advantage with Wiki.


1. The Home Page of Wikipedia is http://www.wikipedia.org/. This site consists various articles on various topics covering 285+ languages.


Click on above link and you scroll down, you can see various languages. Click on each language and check, it redirects to home page of particular language.


For Example, Click on Telugu Language ( it is found at last line of 10,000+ side heading). You can see, the Telugu Wikipedia home page is not just translated one. In Home page, you can see, the news related to Telugu people. Traditions and Location also(Andhra Pradesh) . The home page daily changes daily in all languages.


2. Still scroll down the Home page, 12-13 icons at the bottom of page!!


Do you know what are they ?


Let us explore one by one.


When you click on 1st icon, the site is redirected to


i. Travelling – http://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Main_Page

Hey this is amazing. Click on continents on Home Page, you will find much info on Continents, Places to visit and etc.

You will get info by Train, By Car, By Plane, By Boat and etc.
