I'm writing just to give a recap of my presentation.
Since most of you know what Wikipedia is and what it does, I went into its history as well as some unknown features.
Before Wikipedia, there was Nupedia. Nupedia was also a free encyclopedia but content was peer reviewed by highly qualified scholars. As a result, content was added very slowly. Eventually the idea of making a wiki was introduced and Wikipedia started up from there. Content can be contributed and edited by anybody, and the community as a whole can review contributed content.
One of the cool features of Wikipedia is that you can type in any date and any notable events, births, deaths, holidays, and obeservances are listed.
I also mentioned the Wikipedia Sandbox which lets any user freely experiment with code.

Wikipedia has a large music database as well. One can search any genre of music and find information about the genre, artists associated with it, and any subgenres.
