Up until very recently, we’ve been forced to endure history from the perspective of a very small minority know as “the Victors”. These lucky son’ bitches have, thankfully, been given notice. Thanks to Wikipedia, victory is no longer a requirement for posterity’s pen.
Wikipedia is a free online encyclopedia that is written by… well… you and me. Anyone with a connection to the internets and the inclination can make contributions. But, keep this in mind… democracy is a bitch and Wikipedia has been the center of some controversies lately. For every person that volunteers to help police the articles there’s another person who will happily deface them. This is the price we pay for a history of the people, by the people. Personally, I can’t stop myself from using the Random Article feature… but I’m a geek that way.Wikipedia - History written by the loosers too
