Wikipedia, as everyone knows, is a popular online encyclopedia. Wikipedia is free of charge and everyone can use it. That is, everyone can read it; and everyone can write articles for it. If you have a favorite subject (say, a favorite cartoon), and you've written an intricate, interesting history of it, you can submit it to Wikipedia for free. Wikipedia is a very popular stop on the internet; thousands and thousands of people use it every day. What, then, is Wikiturfing?
