hi,
Was very surprised to see a lesson on Wikipedia in my brother's 7th std text book today.
Picture - http://twitpic.com/40b7oj
The content is concerning Wikipedia - compares it with an encyclopedia, details about volunteers contributing to Wikipedia, talks about the presence of Indic language Wikipedia, talks about vandalism.
It has the following sub-topics:
- Introduction
- What is an encyclopedia?
- What is Wikipedia?
- How is Wikipedia created?
- sidebar: general info on Wikipedia wef September 2009
- sidebar: How is Wikipedia different from an encyclopedia printed on paper?
- vandalism
- Wikipedia policy
- Request an article
warm regards, Pradeep
