How are Wikis being used by the public?

Today I'm going to show you four different Wikis. The first two are about completely random subjects, the third is a homepage to a Wiki created by design students and the fourth is an article written by the students themselves about Wikis. Their Wiki is a little bit like a mini Wikipedia, as it not only has information about design and architecture but also about other things, however unlike Wikipedia you need an account to write and edit articles, but anyone on the internet can see the actual articles. Have a look at the four websites here, The Science Musesum, Lenovo Thinkpads, School of Architecture and Wiki Good Style. I think everyone will agree that the first one made by the Science Museum is a brilliant idea for a Wiki for many reasons. Firstly it gets children and adults involved in Wikis in the first place, as many people are still unaware as to what they are. Secondly it brings people who are passionate about certain subjects together and allows them to discuss their thoughts to whatever ability and matureness they can. This wiki also brings education into the 21st century and brings it learning to life for children. Most children are very internet capable, in some cases more so than adults, this means they find they the idea of learning and discussing things through books and writing very dull and old fashioned. However bring learning to their level, on the internet, and they are suddenly interested. Finally it is very good advertising for the Science museum as it means people will be persuaded to go and see certain exhibitions by people's posts. The second Wiki I think is also brilliant. again it brings people together through a subject they love, but it also teaches people and gives them advice about Lenovo Thinkpads and other things. This is good as people often pay much more attention and learn more from speaking one on one to a real person rather than reading things out of a manual. The third link brings you to the homepage of a Wiki called Wiki fish, set up by some design students, so they can collaborate their information and ideas together. A good idea in principal, however I do not like how they have interpreted the meaning of the Wiki. Firstly they urge you to change their own rules so they suit you. I do not agree with this because the internet should not differ from the real world so much, to point where there should not be rules, if we can change the rules at any time then basically we do not have rules, rules are there to protect us whether we agree with them or not. The second thing I do not like about the Wiki is how aggressive it is in its opinion that if you do not change what's written then you do not really deserve to have an opinion. I do not agree with this as you should not just go around changing things so they agree with your opinions, you should respect people's views, especially if they are written and presented in a clever way. Finally I definitely do not agree with the last Wiki page. It is obnoxious and shows little faith in humans. It suggests that people do not stick to Wikis and simply get bored of other people's opinions and move on to other people's Wikis. It is almost telling you yourself to do this. It does say a very small piece at the bottom about trying to have good faith with others ideas, but it is not enough to compensate for what was said earlier. Even if it was a joke, it may put people off using Wikis if it is their first time. I believe the purpose of most Wikis is a bit like facebook, combined with a debate, combined with teaching. People say their opinions and argue about them, people teach people about different subjects, and they also make friends.
