Wikipedia

I have spent 3 hours writing an article about the genealogy of my family on Wikipedia... I was hoping that we can collaborate with relatives from all over the world to rediscover our roots.... in less than 10 minutes, my article was removed by TheEgyptian because family references are not permitted on Wikipedia... this made me furious at the beginning because it was a total waste of my time. But after drinking a cup of coffee, I was really impressed how fast the Wikipedians ensure that the content of their website is accurate.

Simply: Impressive.

Now, I am investing sometime installing TikiWiki on this site to permit our family members to create their own Wiki pages and enrich our family tree.
