Extended Wikipedia role outside the box - MAJOR WIKIPEDIA CONTRIBUTION

Founder of the humanitarian project World of Knowledge, WOK.

The Knowledge network WOK focus on knowledge as being the facts about the World that is accessible inside the head without the need for finding information on Wikipedia. When the facts on Wikipedia has been learned. And helping the process of learning with gamification as a method. Making Wikipedia more fun to use by repacking the content for the consumer. Driving curiosity forward. Making social media of learning facts addictive.

WOK mission is to improve Wikipedia for the general good by creating a free school, a social network platform and quiz games in a hybrid with Wikipedia as a core.

The Knowledge Network WOK is to make Wikipedia better by using it to build an extended version of Wikipedia on top of Wikipedia if you like. This project started in 2009.

Founder of World of Knowledge project making Wikipedia articles with quiz and control questions for academic use in the mobile apps WikiMaster, WikiFlip, and Quiz King).

Today (May 2018) over 410000 multiple choice questions is attached to Wikipedia for the general good in 6 languages.

With no ads and being a free app in WikiMaster and over 140000 of those have images attached in app WikiFlip and WikiMaster.

Any schoolbook without some reflecting questions at the end of a chapter in order for a student to reflect and learn by answering them in order for check what knowledge was stuck in the head after reading is better than the same chapter without.

Therefore: Any Wikipedia article in WikiMaster app with a quiz is better than just Wikipedia. Hence: World of Knowledge project improves Wikipedia. And continue to improve Wikipedia every day.

The outside project WOK is part of the Wikipedia movement just as iPhone is part of the mobile movement moving the "mobile phone" to "smartphone".

Wikipedia is upgraded with WikiMaster. Albeit not being a project run by Wikipedia Foundation or any of its affiliates; Many Wikipedians already get the importance of this project. Many more will follow.

The goal is to integrate WOK even more close to Wikipedia. And to have WOK being Open Source, run by the WOKworld Foundation as a NGO and being funded by Wikipedia or any other nonprofit organizations that will support the idea of feee access to an online school for the Worlds Students .

As making Wikipedians/ Wikimedians aware of the academic value added when MCQs are added to articles. Every article should have MCQs making Wikipedia stronger as a tool for learning. Making it easier to transport the information in the articles to knowledge in the heads of Wikipedia users around the globe.

By having the Wikipedia articles on the web with a quiz in the end without a separate app. As an example in www.wokcraft.com/plugin or with any other even better solution with the similar result of getting students a better access to learning.
