"To help Wiki grow, the primary goal of this page should be to help people find good places to host their new wiki idea. .. There are already Wikis of many shapes, sizes, colors, and topics. If you are looking to start a wiki, snoop around on the PublicWikiForums (a list of existing wikis), since a suitable wiki may already exist."

  "Welcome to Wikipedia, the free-content encyclopedia that anyone can edit." - probably the best known, highly respected, and often used Wiki  
[NOTE:  Response time may be slow
for Wikipedia links due to volume of usage!]		 "Wikipedia is a Web-based, free-content encyclopedia, which is written collaboratively by volunteers. It consists of 195 independent language editions sponsored by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation. Entries on traditional encyclopedic topics exist alongside those on almanac, gazetteer and current events topics. Its purpose is to create and distribute, worldwide, a free encyclopedia in as many languages as possible. Wikipedia is one of the most popular reference sites on the Web,[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia#
endnote_PopularityRef) receiving around 50 million hits per day."
