Wiki's~

Here is another question for my ENVT 154 final exam!

1)Truthfully I never completed the assignment related to this question. It was too hard to correspond with so many people on so many topics, and the instructions themselves were kind of vague.I was frustrated with trying to organize the assignment and rely on other people to get their work done as well, especially when I had other projects to work on for my other classes. So eventually I gave up on the assignment. I will however link you to a wiki-style page that I did write on my own free time during the summer:
http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/wiki/Rak%27Gol (my user name is Hive Node)

I will use my experience writing this and other wiki articles to answer the rest of the questions.

2) See number one.

3)The benefit of a wiki is the ability for people to share information. It is an oper source encyclopedia that allows millions of users to veiw and edit information freely, adding their unique knowledge on a subject in an un-biased way. It is a useful tool that allows a person to find information on a wide variety of topics in the blink of an eye, making some harder to find information universally available to anyone who is interested in it.

4) The difficulties I've faced with wikis is their formatting. Wiki's use an interesting formatting that uses a lot of asterisks and apostrophes to properly format information of the page. This requires a user to preview their work a lot to make sure all their formatting is coming together. Sometimes as well imputting all those characters can get a little repetitive.
