 * //Why did Wikipedia grow more rapidly than Nupedia did?//**

Wikipedia grew faster then Nupedia because Nupedia had a serial editorial system. This made it hard for common people to just put stuff in and expect to see it on the website any time soon. Wikipedia was a wiki, which as we know from class, meant that lots of people could add stuff at the same time, making it faster and easier to input information. And there was no editing. Once stuff got added it was online. With Nupedia you were unable to input information without being reviewed and cleared, and thus there was often a waiting period. Wikipedia information was uploaded much faster and, once word got out and lots of authors jumped in, more information was put on making it grow larger and faster.
