Wikipedia vs Wikileaks
Wikipedia and WikiLeaks are two online sources of knowledge that show some interesting difference between them when it comes to their owners, objectives, slogans, and the like. Though they have their differences, they are certainly two of the popularwebsitesin the world. If we search for some topic in the internet, most of the time, the page that comes first in the search result page is a Wikipedia page. That is because Wikipedia covers all sorts of subjects with adequate information for most part. While Wikipedia distributes knowledge in a general capacity, WikiLeaks offer information of a controversial nature. They provide information that the governments like to keep a secret.
What is Wikipedia?
The Wikipedia is owned by Wikimedia Foundation. The Wikipedia was founded by Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger in 2001. The URL of Wikipedia is www.wikipedia.org. Wikipedia publishes serious topics on diverse subjects. As at now, that is in early 2015, you can find 4, 733, 235 million articles in English Wikipedia. There is an article on almost every topic under the sun in Wikipedia. The point of view of Wikipedia is neutral. It does not support one idea more than the other. Moreover, the objective of Wikipedia is to inform people of public knowledge. It is designed in such a way that anybody can edit the matter available in the online encyclopedia with an intention to add or amend the information.
When it comes to the slogan, the slogan of Wikipedia is ‘the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit.’ It is true. That means anyone who has some qualification or not can edit an article in Wikipedia. That is why though it offers general knowledge about various topics, using information gathered from Wikipedia is not accepted in the academic world. In academic point of view, it is considered as an unreliable source of information. On the other hand, the content in Wikipedia is licensed under the GFDL and Creative Commons licenses.
What is WikiLeaks?
Wikileaks由阳光新闻界所有。Wikileaks由Julian Assange于2006年12月创立。Wikileaks的URL是www.wikileaks.org。Wikileaks与Wikipedia不同,仅发布与政治,商业和哨声有关的事项。Wikileaks的观点是反战。Wikileaks的目的是告知人们政府隐藏的秘密。有时,这甚至包括大型企业也隐藏的秘密。
当谈到口号时,Wikileaks的口号是“我们开放政府。”您可以在Wikileaks上找到数十万个文件。WikiLeaks无权许可其发布的各种信息。
