It is different because people actually have the option of correcting the information or putting false things too.

Answers:

1) Wikipedia is an educational website that provides users with information about almost every study field. The information posted is uploaded by volunteers and other users can edit it unless it is explicitly forbidden to avoid the change in meaning and vandalism.

2) Wikipedia's work system is different from other online encyclopedias because of the fact that most educational web sites pay highly-educated professionals to upload and review their content to make sure the information they are providing is accurate and reliable.
