Typelighter is a Wikipedia user name.

Personally he have found WIKIPEDIA - The Free Encyclopedia to be a very useful website over time.

Wikipedia is certainly a good starting-point for finding out information and learn many interesting things, which you must then check against other sources, because some articles might have errors, incoherencies, and bias in them. You also should be aware that some great non-biased articles here may have been marked as being biased, and there are also some hoaxes to trick you. Please, see Criticism of Wikipedia.

Wikipedia is a good idea because it can be edited by anyone and it is free. It is also an interesting exercise (like a strategy computer game).

Today's featured article

Benjamin F. McAdoo (1920–1981) was an American architect mainly active in the Seattle area. Born in Pasadena, California, he was inspired to study architecture by a mechanical-drawing class and the work of Paul R. Williams. After working as a draftsman for local architectural firms and the Corps of Engineers, he pursued his Bachelor of Architecture degree at the University of Washington. The first licensed Black architect in the state of Washington, his work featured a modernist aesthetic influenced by the Northwest Regional style. After designing a number of low-income houses and apartments throughout the 1950s, he was hired by the Agency for International Development to design modular houses in Jamaica. He returned to Seattle after a period of work in Washington, D.C., and pursued civic commissions. Outside of work, he participated in the NAACP, hosted a weekly radio show on racial issues for several years, and unsuccessfully ran for a seat in the Washington House of Representatives.

Originally a parish church, it has held the status of cathedral since 1997. The church was built in 1874 by Friedrich von Schmidt on the site of earlier medieval foundations. Its patron saint is Florinus of Remüs (Florin), a 9th-century saint of the Vinschgau valley. This photograph shows the nave and choir of the cathedral.Photograph credit: A.Savin
