User Generated Content – or Knowledge, Wiki Style

Wikis are community driven knowlege sites, where the FAQs and information articles are written and edited by hyper-users. These are a few that caught my eye:
JurisPedia :

A Wiki type portal, JurisPedia is an encyclopaedic project of academic initiative devoted to worldwide law, legal and political sciences. Its objective is to create a universal legal encyclopedia.Jurispedia has developed on the initiative of Équipe de Recherche Informatique et Droit (Faculty of Law of the University of Montpellier I , the Faculty of Law of the University of Can Tho, the Faculty of Law of the Universityof Groningen , the Institute for Law and Informatics (Saarland University) and the team of JURIS (Université du Québec À Montreal).

Marxism, The anti capitalist wiki

Welcome to the Matrix, an anti-capitalist database, library and resource center on corporations, the anti-capitalist movement, and popular campaigns against capitalism. We invite you to join this open project and contribute information using this wiki software.

There’s a tonne of wiki Fan Sites around TV. My fave? Wookiepedia – wiki, Star Wars style.

Anyway theres a fair few wikis at Wikia, the old Wikia Cities site, so if you have a penchant or a passion, head over there. Create your own. Discuss. Got wiki?

…or head to UNcyclopedia for a content-free experience. Hopefully the hackers and trolls will all be there too!
