Wiki in Plain English

[@paulitza9]

This is one of the best tutorial presentations I have come upon. I think I have learned more from this one video than trying to figure out some of the common denominators one finds in all the so-called-guru ads on how to make money and the steps needed to get yourself started. Thank you! Let all those "bird-brains making ridiculous comments crawl back from whichever vegie-patch they came from"

[@kellypeterson3542]

I just want to THANK YOU Lee!!!! Wow, I've been a teacher for many years and try to explain things simply. YOU, my friend, did an OUTSTANDING job explaining this!!! KUDOS to you!!!!

[@fmfagan]

Truly fantastic job man. Even though I'm already familiar with wiki's I was curious to hear your explanation to the uninitiated. I'm very impressed with the way you were able to provide a simple, real-world example without having to dumbing it down.There are brilliant people who are totally inept as instructors despite being experts in that field. IMHO you clearly have a gift.

[@bombboyluke]

I would not describe myself as computer illiterate but definitely not computer savvy. This video answered any questions I could have. I'm glad to learn whenever I can. I personally think that more people should watch instructional or simply informative videos to make their lives, as well as others around them, easier. Thanks. Very nice and simple.

[@asmamohamedzakiabdelhafeez3041]

wow! this is amazing! I'm watching this in 2021 and find it soooo creative and engaging to have been done 14 years earlier! Hats off to the one who created and developed this video :D

[@agilethoughts6619]

Awesome! This content has aged very well! Love the "low-fi" presentation.

[@Soly24]

I love how this show teaches you things "in plain English" without being patronising, and even manages to be funny!

[@JamesNeill]

Still the simplest and best explanation of how a wiki works.

[@ReggieWhite15]

That was a great basic tutorial. Love the quickness of the presentation. It was to the point and certainly not boring. Very good for beginners to understand the concept. I hope to find more in depth Wiki tutorials from the same Guy using the same quick style. We're learning Convergence Wiki that is a lot more complex at work so I'm excited about all that's available to learn from. Thanks very much for providing this.

[@sierrab5132]

anyone else pissed their professor assigned them to create a wiki page with people they don't know that art even contributing to the assignment

[@CrackyBOOM]

It's 2022 and I'm using this video to explain to my company what is a wiki. Thanks a lot!

[@tkfkdgo07]

Even though English is not my mother tongue, it's really easy for me to understand because of your explanation in plain English. Brilliant. Thanks.

[@bgj806]

Thank you for this excellent explanation of wiki and how it works. Love the clear, simple way you demonstrated wiki, Fun, fabulous, fast learning tool!

[@Gofishygo-Peopleunit]

Wiki solutions are getting better, more useful, more powerful, including collaberation.

[@MiriamSmithSocial]

OMG - I heart the format that Wikis have been described here! Gotta do this for other topics. Thank you

[@gordito1973]

Lee, I stumbled on your PLAIN ENGLISH series and absolutely love them. You have a great talent. thank you for sharing it with us.

[@ginzipper]

This is wonderful! As soon as I learned of this technology I began using it and getting all of my friends and family on board. Thank you.

[@B-List]

This wiki youtube is the best ever! It is clear on how to create a wiki for all.

[@BobAyoub]

This video was more informative than 2000 websites.

[@Psychobatman1]

Of great help to this somewhat older guy. I am required to make a wiki page for a class I am in. Thanks to you, the process seems to be simplified. Now I am off to do it. Thank you!

[@Drmargaret65]

This tutorial was well planned and presented in a sequential manner. I am grateful to you for making what I thought was difficult to understand, was really quite easy. I am so happy that I was successful at this task. Now I am ready to open my account.

[@benjaminfahr6002]

I like this explanations from Common Craft. Easy basic explanations for everyone to understand.

[@jefforyb]

I just love the way you guys explain things using your elaborate demonstrations. Keep it going!

[@MEAUXT]

Excellent job. The description of "in plain English" is exactly right.

[@CharlynY]

Anyone here from Cisco Networking Academy 1.1.1.8 Lab? No? Ok.

[@mauroretch]

Yes, me too.

[@jailis10]

yes me too

[@jimsackry2047]

Yes me too

[@Jeff-nb2on]

Yup

[@moazahmed5388]

hurraaaay :D

[@mksario]

One of the most frequent questions about wikis is whether or not older versions are preserved, a version that one party in the collaboration may have preserved. With that one additional question answered, this would be a perfect explanation.

[@spiritualsarver2125]

By FAR the BEST explanation! Thank you!

[@blakebradley5294]

Wiki is a very nice way to organize information amongst a group of people. With the use of wiki, information can be saved in a clear manner & wouldn't take as much time as emailing would. Wiki is a very interesting program and seems essential for sharing data within a business or just a group of individuals wanting to share information.

[@rjones920]

This was extremely informative. As the title promises, it was indeed in plain English. Nicely done! And thanks!

[@phyllislovell]

Most excellent! I had no idea what a wiki was or that there were such place on the web that you could do such things. This explained it well in an entertaining way. Thank you!

[@osnacantab]

A short, lively, amusing, clever explanation. I loved the use of...old-fashioned technology (?)..

[@GKClaussen]

Thank you so much, I am a OLD college student and I had no clue what a wiki was!!! BIG HELP!!!

[@christimarie24]

AH-mazing! Thank you!!!! I am a teacher wondering "what is a wiki" and "how can I use this thing??" You have answered both questions SIMPLY and concisely. Now... off to try it out!

[@apolloniatopaz9934]

Thank you! so easy to understand in under 4 minutes!

[@caleb51402]

This is awesome! I have been hearing this term "wiki" from a while now but never knew what it was. Now I know. Thanks!

[@parkermollylily]

This is so cool -- such a smart, effective explanation, rendered in a humorous, engaging way.

[@thegmanofEAP]

This is the greatest explanation of anything ever! Great presentation!

[@mariangelescaballero5244]

Is not only simple, is clear... and besides I love the artistic design

[@juliedavis1962]

This was a great start to understanding a Wiki & helping me to do well in my Applied Anthropology course!!

[@dangramit]

Great easy to understand explanation! Now included in my blog on wiki for small business - thanks!

[@thefintube1]

Your Videos are simply the BEST EVER! Thank you so much.

[@robincisco3685]

So can people edit at the same time or does the one saving first edit the file while the second one overwrites everything? or is that beeing solved by saving an older version so it can be merged?

[@dakotabryant6682]

That video made so much sense. I wish my coworkers would watch it. It would make work so much easier. B. Crouch

[@albdim1]

What a fantastic Visual Presentation of a tool!

[@The-Estranged-Mom-Coach]

I wish my current professor was as good at teaching as you are! Thanks so much.

[@rvalentine1000]

GM, This was awesome! This explanation will help me in with describing WIKIs. Thanks

[@dr.andrealightbourne-webst7230]

Great explanation of Wikis. You have made the process easy to understand. Thank you!

[@alfaXXXo8]

ZEEMKE... also this kind of videos from PLAIN ENGLISH are also very useful for people like me who don't speak english as a main language.. thay are very easy to understand and to learn

[@isabeljanethlopezm.700]

Thank you for your contribution to let us help our students to learn faster and better that in the traditional classrooms.

[@kathywood9619]

Excellent video and demonstration of how easy it is to create a wiki!

[@Applecompuser]

That was a great video that was easy to understand! I really like the presentation style which I may borrow for Power Point presentations that I often do fore school and work. Again, a fantastic video.

[@FLGORING]

Man!! Your video is great. I bought a page on Million Dollar Wiki site last year and I didn't know how to use or setup my page until now. Thanks

[@mastermostfa]

This is surprisingly very well made

[@grazzer88]

This is a great explination. I remember 8 years ago several of my mates put up a notepad document in an editable section of our school network in a similar manner. Of course the more people who found out the more people used it and eventually several people were editing the same document at once and comments were lost. Good concept, but flawed somewhat flawed the more it gets used.

[@naptema]

I put it to my wiki so the visitors can understand how easy they can contribute Many thanks

[@samizdat_]

Damn this is like time travel

[@amorillum]

These are really great! I'm using them on my teaching website - easy for students learning English to understand! Keep up the good work!

[@Addonelam]

Very informative and easy to understand! Great series, thanks!

[@iawn]

Thanks Lee! This series of vids is very very useful

[@00StarryKnight00]

really great method of teaching. keep it up! (: Right now in class we are doing a procedural writing in plain english. nice vid.

[@Harrity]

Truly amazing tutorial/video. Lee and Sachi, thank you very much for sharing this. I look forward to following you and staying in touch. cheers, Sean Gresh

[@Yolie713]

Great explanations on the wikis! I was actually dreading my wikis assignment, but it's such a simple task.:) thanks!

[@GMAN4ik]

The work you guys do is just awesome. I wish you good luck with it, will be among your fans from today on :)

[@iawn]

Lee - I think what you're doing is fab! Of course this vid is just about the concept but before long folks will need to know about at least 2 complexities you necessarily skate over, 1. turn taking and other editing protocols, 2. top level taxonomy or structure of the site. Do you know where this kinda thing is brought together because I cant see it. Most of the google culled comment is about security and choosing the right wiki.

[@kevinramirez6603]

It couldn't be better explained, very nice vid!

[@annie1234z]

thank you for this explanation, it make it so much easier to understand, your demonstration was right on.

[@Omicron003]

Cool! Well explained. More such videos pls, especially website designing & interactive storyboarding.

[@BlGB0SS]

What a great video on wiki's, thanks for the crash course.

[@NurseJonSD]

Simple, yet very educational. Thanks for creating this!

[@cuti53]

Thanks. Very meaningful video. I like the way you show how to use the page. If you do not mind i am going to use some of your ideas next time I teach Excel.

[@benitahubbard6380]

Great video! Wikis helps those that are technologically-challenged as well as the gurus while collaborating and collectively learning.

[@4ncrblz]

Thank you! I have recommended this video to my group. I sure hope they watch! I even learned something...I didn't know you could create a page by highlighting a word and clicking the link button. :)

[@PeteThottam]

Thanks. That was a useful intro/conceptual outline for the Wiki design process and the underlying principals of edit/save by multiple users. Maybe a little too basic but still interesting. Thx.

[@seibertgroup]

Great video about wikis - our customers love it!

[@ThePeszsry33]

Thanks for the simple yet very informative explanation

[@witchyknits4ewe]

Great tutorial - I'm VERY new at this and your video made it clear and easy!! Thank you!!!

[@BewitchedInSalem]

Love your chosen process for presenting the information.

[@humanzeitgeber]

hmmm very cool but limited in functions - does anyone know the best and most functional wikis around at the moment that you can sign up for and use?

[@davidmaharaj9322]

Clear, concise and informative. Exactly what I needed. Thank-you.

[@AlphaAlec]

Great explanation - there's more to it than just wikipedia!

[@SkyRookie1]

Short and sweet, excellent job!

[@andiek25]

This is very helpful. You make it seem so easy! Thanks.

[@sarahvoase5349]

Why is my university showing me this as a serious resource?

[@gemiinilove]

not quite sure either

[@toomuchjen]

That was awesome. Thank you for dumbing it down for us new-to-college folks. ;-)

[@jennyrankin9112]

I love how you produced this helpful video - thanks!

[@RichardSong20]

really easy to understand this concept. thank you

[@jdrw55]

Very cool! Never knew much about creating wikis. Thanks!

[@americansoldier7776]

Great JOB! Thank you for making a wiki perfectly clear!

[@mdunkins]

Love the video. Thanks for the simple explanation. I finally understand the concept. :)

[@nostaligicangel]

Thank-you for your excellent explanation, very generous of you.

[@jandbpalmer]

fantastic! Can you please do one on Instant Messaging?

[@helenshukla1126]

That was excellent. Well done and thank you!

[@johnnyBgood2]

This is an excellent tool to share an unlimited amount of information with others. Thanks for the tour. (Late bloomer 2013 lol)

[@phdiam]

Terrific way to explain wiki to a very new user - also liked his video on RSS

[@askmeagain32]

very nice, must've taking a long time. Short and to the point instead of reading 4 pages to get the same amount of information 5/5

[@RicardoCetz]

Simply makes it easier! Great job

[@otocan]

I imagine that was very helpful to complete computer novices, well done.

[@lpatterson328]

John, Frank, and Henry are ready for some kinky stuff with Mary! ahh no but seriously this is a helpful channel even though I don't care about wikis. Make more of these man, they're really good!

[@michina1987]

Wow this helped me to understand wiki better, have to use it for english class and I hadnt a clue, now I do! =D

[@lugordon]

great work! And look forward to more!
