1. What did wiki software allow Web users to do that the Mosaic browser did not? The wiki software allowed web users edit pages, and a collaboration on the web. Also at the beginning there was a lot of users who began to gain interest in a published content. And the reason for that is to be able to use the web and be able to have the opportunity to edit a specific web they choose to.

1. What do blogs and wikis have in common?

    The common ability is to have a collaboration in being able to update many web pages, as well as writing mainly on the website rather than trying to edit the page. This was very common as many people had felt the need to make correction on a web post, and they had the ability to do so through blogs and wikis.
What problem did a young Jimmy Wales find with the World Book Encyclopedia?
 The problem Jimmy Wales found with the World Book Encyclopedia was he was finding hardship to understand it then he was able to little by little, and then Jimmy started to love it.

6. Why did Nupedia fail?

1. Nupedia had failed as the process in the making was very slow, and it caused for only a dozen of encyclopedias to be published. This is considered a fail as much work was put but took a long time, also as a result of many copies in draft affected the progress in Nupedia. 
2. How did wiki software change the ideas behind Nupedia?
3.    The wiki software changed the ideas behind Nupedia as it was a lead into Wikipedia, as there was a combination of ideas gathered into one it had been a great creation. But as a result of this there was a dispute on whom was to get more credit for what had been done collaboratively.

2.  Crowdsourcing is the ideas being derived from a big group of people that had an impact based on what was the topic on.
3. What do you think about the concept of “any fool in the world” being able to write articles for Wikipedia?
4.     I totally disagree with the idea of any fool in the world being able to write articles for wikipedia, and the reason for my disagreement is because they aren't knowledgeable enough to have factual evidence on wikipedia. Also since many people use it they are at risk of obtaining a wrong/false information as they believe what is posted on wikipedia.
5. Do agree with the idea that “total idiots” could edit Wikipedia and of that being a good thing? Explain.
6.    I in fact don't agree that total idiots can edit a wikipedia, and that is because there lack of knowledge is really high as they don't have any sort of intelligence occurring within themselves.
7. Why do you think Wikipedia grew so fast and became so popular in such a short amount of time?
8.    The reason Wikipedia grew so fast was because it had a collaboration of tools which lead to people edit the ideas they believed where false , and try to make them correct and as a result of that many people relied on it as there source of attaining knowledge on a certain idea or topic.

10.   As a result of Sangers elitist attitude it was a good thing in order to be able improve the works of wikipedia, as it was able to resolve the many problems being had on Nupedia. Also it was factual as he stated that later on no one would be interested in the editing of the page.
11. What did you learn from the anecdote about the Wikipedia article on Einstein going to Albania for a passport in 1935?
12.   I learned that the story of Einstein going to Albania for a passport in 1935 was a false statement/story being told, and there was beliefs of proofs put up on many Albanian websites to improve the false story but it was untrue that had never occurred with Einstein trying to flee from the nazis.
13. Explain this quote from the article: “I can’t imagine who could have written such detailed guidelines other than a bunch of people working together...It’s common in Wikipedia that we’ll come to a solution that’s really well thought out because so many minds have had a crack at improving it.”
14.   This quote means that through a collaborative team there are many interesting and factual articles within wiki, and with the help of people it is able to improve because it isn't a very hard thing with many people putting there effort to improve an article.
15. The author of the article states that Wikipedia “grew organically.” What does he mean by that?

17. How has Wikipedia “been the greatest collaborative knowledge project in history?” 
18.   Wikipedia has been the greatest collaborative knowledge project in history through the ideas of Sangers and Walles whom has improved Nupedia in order to experience a new idea, and there has been a very vast popularity due to the articles being published. Also another factor is the communities have worked together in order to make Wikipedia a better project, an also producing articles.
19. Based on your own opinion and experience with Wikipedia, do you agree with the above statement or disagree with it? Explain.
20.   I believe that Wikipedia has had an impact in a majority of the humans alive life because many people use it in order to complete something such as if when one is in doubt based a certain topic there is a result with a lot of information, such as looking up a person it would state what they are known for and there successes in life.
21. What does the author mean by “wiki-crack?”
22.  The author means that there is a work of people combining to make an article and the people colliding with great reasons to add on an article symbolizes a crack, also wiki crack is an impact is has had on ones life that it has resulted in an injury as many base there answers on it.
23. Based on the article, do you believe Wikipedia is a reliable source of information?
24.  I believe Wikipedia is not a reliable source of information and the reason for that is because there can be much disagreement with the people whom are actually writing the articles, and can cause people who use wiki to obtain false information rather than it being correct.
25. Do you believe its possible for a 16-year-old from New Jersey to write “insightful” Wikipedia articles?
26.  It doesn't matter where in the world a 16 year old is residing in they aren't about to write insightful articles on wiki and that is because they don't have as much knowledge as other adults have whom share there info on wiki, and also a teen may sometimes write within there opinion and make it seem like its factual.
27. How do you feel about basing your own research on something a 16-year-old wrote on Wikipedia?
28.   I believe it is inappropriate to base our research on a 16 year old due to the lack of intelligence one has at the age, they may be smart but they haven't obtained a degree which can actually prove they are able to do a great job as stated.
29. What does Jimmy Wales mean by this mission statement: “Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge?”
30.   This means Jimmy Wales refers to the wiki crack as many ideas are gathered to be established onto a wiki, and many people in the world is to rely on wiki as it has been created by many people not just one. This means that the articles are "true" and credible to acknowledge about what is the article on.
31. Do you agree or disagree with this mission statement?
32.  I may have disagree before but agree as Wikipedia has many mins gathered into an article which can be very elaborative and helpful, that many people in the world is able to use as a part of there life.
33. Do you think Wikipedia has succeeded in its mission?
34.  I believe wikipedia has succeeded in its mission which was to improve Nupedia and dub it once this project was established, as the mission was to make improvements and allow many people to use it and be filled in with many missing information within the encyclopedia.
35. Do you agree or disagree that ordinary people, people without degrees, can “be part of the process of creating and distributing knowledge?”

37. Based on your reading of the article, would you yourself use Wikipedia for your academic research?

39. Would you yourself like to write and/or edit Wikipedia articles in order to be “a part of the process of creating and distributing knowledge?” Why or why not?
40. No because I don't want to have the responsibility of distributing my opinions, as my knowledge without a certain higher education isn't worth it because I my not know as much as others whom have a degree.
