Using Wikipedia from: http://en.flossmanuals.net/Browse/UsingWikipedia Until recent years encyclopedias were a large, very expensive, set of books.

Enter the following URL into the Location Bar and press Enter : http://www.wikipedia.org Now click on the language that you understand from the list provided. I will click on the "English" link :
Now you have the 'home page' of the Wikipedia English site open. To search for something we just need to type what we are looking for into the text box where it says 'search' : When you have entered the terms you are looking for press 'Search' and you will be taken to a list of links from which you can choose or directly to a page refering to your search. These pages are the Wikipedia pages for that subject. |
