JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA, UNITED STATES, May 21, 2007- The free cigarettes\'
encyclopedia project CigarettesPedia is open for editing. Since its creation on 29
th March, 2006, this site has turned to a priceless, unequalled archive, that has
more than 30, 000 unique articles and images, organizers say. CigarettesPedia is the
free cigarettes encyclopedia which means that anyone with an internet connection can
visit the website and edit an article after logging in.
CigarettesPedia is created entirely by volunteers and collectors who
contribute, update, and revise articles and images in a collaborative
process. \"What makes this project original is that it contains
centuries-old history of cigarettes and thus it is an inseparable part
of human history, and we can create that history together\" said one of
the CigarettesPedia founders.
For such an open project, some may find it remarkable that many of the
articles and images are quite unique and that the project has attracted
a large number of collectors.
Many participants are attracted to the notion that they are contributing to a
completely free resource that can be used worldwide.
What motivates collectors and CigarettesPedians to participate in such
an open project? For Albert J.Hauks, a Director of Business Development
in Richmond KC Inc., Virginia it is educational, useful and cognitive
cigarettes resource \"I spent some time, first, trying to determine if it
was some kind of industry propaganda operation, but it obviously is not.
It\'s very well done and I\'ve never seen such a superior database of
cigarettes. And I can contribute all the information on cigarette
companies in Israel from 1920 till the present.\"
