Simple as a wiki

By the means of the interface of Google Maps, the Net surfer can sail a little everywhere on planet and discover at the time of his wander several zones delimited by rectangles of various size which symbolizes on the chart of the places, sites, quite precise monuments which not only localised but were documented by others. A click is enough then to visualize these annotations (36 supported languages) with very often of the bonds which point towards articles of Wikipedia but it should be noted that WikiMapia is not related to Wikimedia, association which precisely supports Wikipedia.

On from now on the very famous principle of the wiki, any user can contribute to WikiMapia, a recording is not even necessary. In WikiMapia, one can add a little anything like his small at home what is completely possible, test with the support but not the sorrow to seek, wiki-good citizenship finally was most extremely and this entry altogether a bit megalomaniac quickly was unobtrusive. That poses nevertheless the limits of such a project which without real measurement of control can well quickly derive from its original concept but also lead to other interesting initiatives via perhaps some improvements.
