/wikipedia/
Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, is a landmark of the internet rivaling the Library of Alexandria.
Its existence serves as a testament to human collaboration.
Since I've started using the internet, I've always loved going through articles for hours at a time, from when I was on the school computer with nothing to do, to now.
Here is a compilation of articles, from my all-time favorites to weird and interesting ones.
I hope you find something of note here, and I will try to keep this page updated with new links...
