Wikipedia Homepage, Part 1
Thursday, October 21st, 2010The 2 Levels of Homepages on Wikipedia.org
Here are in fact two levels of wkipedia homepage: the first home page is seen at the time when one types in the web address Wikipedia.org. That page presents searching bar, which automatically searches the English version of Wikipedia, and a circular arrangement of the largest wikededias in several language.
The second wikipedia home page is language specific: every single wikipedia is assigned a subdomain corresponding to its language and every single Wikipedia has a home page in its national language.
Thus, getting to an English wikipedia homepage needs you to actually type and maybe click a web link to: http://en.wikipedia.org. The “en” in front of the Wikipedia domain is termed a subdomain and in this instance it designates a language of that wikipedia, which is English. Wikipedias in foreign languages have other home pages, every resident in their subdomain. For example, the wikipedia home page for the spanish language Wikipedia is found by typing http://es.wikipedia.org. There will also be a great many other homepages on Wikipedia, every one devoted to an individual language. Google Translate Wikipedia.
Several wikipedias have only some 1 000 articles, while others for example the English Wikipedia got scores of articles.
The Wikipedia home page comes with a new piece of writing on a daily basis and that is an excellent place to begin one’s search for a Wikipedia universe. Simply click on the piece of writing and start reading. As you do you will locate an large number of names, words and definitions, hyperlinked to different articles. These links could lead you away from the general topic, on occasion to various other pieces of writing nevertheless, usually the only reason that a article you are reading links to a different article is because they have a word in common. So, should you’re reading in regards to a historical battle, the article may mention that one side might have been armed with cross bows. The reference to cross bows will connect to articles regarding cross bows.
That article will also surely mention the historical development of a weapon and the way it had been an improvement over the mere bow an arrow. Some more pieces of writing could branch off on the subject of arrows, weaponry, feathers applied for arrows, a kind of wood applied for the weapons and so on. Google Sites Wikipedia.
Click the link concerning the wood, and next step you understand you’re practicing another link to a write-up about a specific forest were that wood can be found. Read this article and soon you will be following links to specifics of forestry, micro climates and so forth ad infinitum.
That attractiveness of a Wikipedia homepage is that it’s a virtual gateway into an online library of Alexandria. However, that does have its flaws.
