Discontinued Support for Adtention

Since the dawn of time, computers have provided a reliable means of collaboration. Wikipedia, according to a reliable internet source, is "a free, web-based, collaborative, multilingual encyclopedia project". This allows millions of people to gather together and collectively decide what they think the truth is.
