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).

Donkey Kong logo

Donkey Kong is a video game series and media franchise created by the Japanese game designer Shigeru Miyamoto for Nintendo. It follows the adventures of Donkey Kong, a large, powerful gorilla, and other members of the Kong family of simians. Donkey Kong games include the original arcade game trilogy by Nintendo R&D1, the Donkey Kong Country series by Rare and Retro Studios, and the Mario vs. Donkey Kong series by Nintendo Software Technology. The main Donkey Kong games are platform games in which the player must reach the end of a level. Donkey Kong appears as the antagonist or protagonist; his role alternates between games. The original Donkey Kong, released in 1981, was Nintendo's first major international success. The franchise has pioneered or popularized concepts such as in-game storytelling and pre-rendered graphics, inspired other games (including clones), and influenced popular culture. (Full article...)

Red-necked grebe
The red-necked grebe (Podiceps grisegena) is a species of water bird in the grebe family, Podicipedidae, found across the temperate regions of the northern hemisphere. It breeds on shallow freshwater lakes, marshes and ponds, and winters mainly along sheltered coasts and other large bodies of water. In breeding plumage, adults have a black cap, pale grey face and throat, and a rusty-red neck, while winter birds are duller grey. The species is a strong swimmer and diver, feeding on fish, aquatic insects and other invertebrates. Red-necked grebes build floating nests among emergent vegetation, and newly hatched chicks often ride on their parents' backs. It is classified as a least-concern species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. This red-necked grebe of the subspecies P. g. grisegena in breeding plumage was photographed in Amager Common, a park and nature reserve in Copenhagen, Denmark.Photograph credit: Charles J. Sharp
