The website www.wikipedia.org is an online encyclopedia so answering the questions who, what, where, when, and why will be a little more difficult and will most likely be different than most other websites. Since the site is an encyclopedia the who is anyone who is looking for information. This probably means a lot of students and teachers probably use this site. This site offers information that is unbiased so it isn’t directed towards any particular culture, gender, and age group. Also since it offers a broad range of information people can use it to find information for their job or just for fun. There is no reason that anyone should not find this site useful because it has information that applies to anyone.

The what is a free encyclopedia that is online. It provides information that range from the biology to the ingedients of pepsi. It also has a section called trivia for certain articles that provide you with unimportant information that is just fun to read, or as most people call them fun facts, such as if you search a movie the trivia section may give you information about other actors who were supposed to be in the movie or why the director added a scene. It also is updated constantly so all the information you get is very up to date. Also people can add information to the site so you get information from everywhere. It also uses information that they get from other reliable sources such as other websites, newspapers, magazines, and other sources. It also has information on current news. The where is anywhere, It has information from and about everywhere in the world. It provides the option to change languages so anyone can use it. It is also accessible anywhere that has the internet since it is free. Since people can add information you are getting information from everywhere not just one place.

The when is anytime you need information. It is useful when you need to write a report for school or just need to get a better understanding of something. Also it is useful when you are just bored and curious. You can find information on just about anything you can think of so when you are bored you can just spend time finding information on things you always wanted to know.

The why is very simple. It is simply because the internet is the quickest and easiest way to gather information and an encyclopedia is a book that puts a lot of information in one place so it only makes sense to put them together. It is so much more practical to use than looking through a large set of books to complete a report. It is also much easier than a normal encyclopedia to use because you can search for exactly what you want which makes it even more obvious why someone made it. Another reason is that it will reach more people because of the fact that it is free and normal encyclopedias are expensive so now everyone who has a computer has an encyclopedia at their home.
