(NO!)
It says in the very first paragraph that Wikipedia is a Wiki. WHAT?! NO! WIKITUBIA is a WIKI. WIKIPEDIA is a WIKIMEDIA PROJECT! Or, is it? NuttyGorillaWiki ((User talk:NuttyGorillaWiki|talk)) 23:48, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
eh? wiki is knowledge managements best friend? --

eh? wiki refers to software in that first paragraph not ownership? --

A wiki is a type of website that allows visitors to edit the content. It has nothing to do with ownership. Oh, and by the way, I think your link is broken. And easy on the caps, man. You were screaming almost your entire statement. --(Special:Contributions/71.125.5.51|71.125.5.51) ((User talk:71.125.5.51|talk)) 12:20, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

I need to clarify. The differences between a Wiki and a Content Management System was previously present in this article and was removed. I propose putting it back.The information about differences between a Wiki and a Content Management System is valuable information (assuming it is accurate). If this information is not provided here then is it available somewhere else? If it is not found in another location then it does need to exist somewhere and I suggest that it be returned to this article (though I believe the wording could be cleaned up).Here is the information that was removed for reference:'''Wikis have shared and encouraged certain features with generalized content management systems (CMS), which are used by enterprises and communities-of-practice. Those looking to compare a CMS with an enterprise wiki should consider these basic features:[citation needed]
1. The name of an article is embedded in the hyperlink.
2. Articles can be created or edited at anytime by anyone (with certain limitations for protected articles).
3. Articles are editable through the web browser.
4. Each article provides one-click access to the history/versioning page, which also supports version differencing ("diff") and retrieving prior versions.
5. The most recent additions/modifications of articles can be monitored actively or passively.
6. Easy revert of changes is possible.
None of these are particular to a wiki, and some have developed independently. Still the concept of a wiki unequivocally refers to this core set of features. Taken together, they fit the generative nature of the Internet, in encouraging each user to help build it.[17] It is yet to be studied whether an enterprise wiki encourages more usage, or leads to more knowledgeable community members, than other content management systems'''Uniquenamessuck ((User talk:Uniquenamessuck|talk)) 20:03, 7 May 2008 (UTC) Potential changes

Vici is Latin for "I conquered", and is pronounced /wi:ki:/ in Classical Latin. --nlitement (User_talk:Nlitement|[talk)] 16:22, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

Depends on what country you learned Latin in. How it IS pronounced and how it WAS pronounced are two separate matters, and there is still much debate on the latter.
Meaning of wiki-wiki?
In most Malayo-Polynesian languages reduplication is used to signify plural (for nouns), or continuous (for verbs). Does anyone know the exact implication in Hawaiian? It would be nice to add that to the page. lk ((User talk:Lawrencekhoo|talk)) 13:38, 14 August 2008 (UTC)--Krowand ((User talk:Krowand|talk)) 20:12, 18 September 2008 (UTC) When I went to Hawaii and visited their cultural center and our docent began talking about the impact that Christian Missionaries had had on Hawaiian culture, the two examples she used explaining the Island variation on the incoming Church's influences were first an example of the alteration of the Church hymns, this part was sung by a choir in the before and after, and second the alteration of the English language word, quickly, into the Hawaiian equivalent word, Wiki. It seems that Island time and Jolly Old time moved at totally different speeds and the Pastor's wifes were always imploring the natives to move faster. I can't be of any real help with the doubling as part of the Malayo-Polynesian language structure but the knowledgeable-seeming docent giving the speech to my group repeated the word for emphasis as, "Quickly, quickly!" (Kwik-lee, Kwik-lee)--Krowand ((User talk:Krowand|talk)) 20:12, 18 September 2008 (UTC) I guess that would make WIKI a part of Hawaiʻi Creole English, HCE, or simply Pidgin, the Hawai-ian creole language based in part on English. —Preceding unsigned comment added by (Special:Contributions/75.22.60.72|75.22.60.72) ((User talk:75.22.60.72|talk)) 18:55, 18 September 2008 (UTC) unit of stored knowledge
Can wiki be a standard unit of digitally stored "knowledge" (in conventional sense)? (like a Meme) Sohale ((User talk:Sohale|talk)) 02:17, 27 August 2008 (UTC)What is a wiki principle? Does it deserve another separate article? (see links section of article Wiki ) Sohale ((User talk:Sohale|talk)) 02:25, 27 August 2008 (UTC)You're kidding
The article contains this paragraph:""Wiki" (/wiːkiː/) is originally a Hawaiian word for "fast". It has been suggested that "wiki" means "What I Know Is".[4] However, this is a backronym. "Wiki Wiki" is a reduplication of the same word."I just have to mention that it seems a glaring omission to tell us about this reduplication, but not to mention that"Wiki Wiki Wiki Wiki" is a reduplication of "Wiki Wiki", and "Wiki Wiki Wiki Wiki Wiki Wiki Wiki Wiki" is a reduplication of that, and "Wiki Wiki Wiki Wiki Wiki Wiki Wiki Wiki Wiki Wiki Wiki Wiki Wiki Wiki Wiki Wiki" is a reduplication of that (and by now you just might see the pattern if you're really smart). Otherwise, how will readers ever figure these things out???Oh, and by the way -- seriously -- if "Wiki Wiki" is going to be mentioned, shouldn't the article explain why it is mentioned at all? I.e., that it is a word in Hawaiian? And, like, uh, maybe, what it means?Daqu ((User talk:Daqu|talk)) 22:49, 17 September 2008 (UTC)--Krowand ((User talk:Krowand|talk)) 20:12, 18 September 2008 (UTC)```` Wiki is the Hawaiian alteration of the English Language word "quickly" when pronounced by local Hawaiians who were usually helping out in the newly-arrived Christian kitchens. The Minister's wives tried to speed up the locals by repeating the word loudly as in, "Quickly, Quickly!" This works on the same principle as tourists talking English to non-English-speakers locals, slowly and loudly so that they can better understand you. Yes, I am kidding but this is also true. —Preceding unsigned comment added by (Special:Contributions/75.22.60.72|75.22.60.72) ((User talk:75.22.60.72|talk)) 18:38, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
OK, fine, but it is also true that "Platypus, platypus" is a reduplication of "platypus". That's not a good enough reason to mention this under the entry
Platypus.
My point is that if a mention of "Wiki, wiki" has any place in the article, it needs to be accompanied by more of an explanation than that it is a reduplication of "wiki", since that is true merely by the definition of the word "reduplication".
