Wikis

Having never used Wiki or Wikipedia, in looking at the suggested sites I have viewed a lot of words, new to me, ending with ''pedia.
The sites at Princeton Library, the Montana Research Centre would be very good to use in doing book reviews, archive work, looking for government maps etc. The homepage of the State Library of Tasmania is very good,, clear and easy to use.
It is good to see that some wiki sites need email confirmation before posting and/or editing. If anyone contribute, how accurate is the information posted?
It was good to look up my home town on Wiki Tutorial with facts and figures.
Wiki sites could have much use for book reviews and discussion groups where each could post to their blog site.
