Wikipedia is a multilingual, Web-based free content encyclopedia project which allows most articles to be changed by almost anyone with access to the website.

To load wikipedia on to the iPod the basic requirement is a pearl script. After you download the executable script download wikipod to your desktop and unzip it which then traverses all the links it finds and downloads all pages to the iPod then it traverses each link on new page until it reaches the size limit you have specified then -
1. open Terminal.app and type cd ~/Desktop
2. Type chmod 755 wikipod to mark the script as executable

And whenever you want to load wikipedia pages onto your iPod and follow the given steps:

1. Mount your iPod in disk mode & open Terminal.app & type cd ~/Desktop.
2. Now Type ./wikipod http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPod, then a space.
3. Double-click on your iPod icon and drag the Notes folder into the Terminal window

Apple limits the iPod to 1000 notes, so the script stops after that many notes. So after all these steps the command should look like
./wikipod http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPod /Volumes/iPod/Notes(no of notes wanted), then hit enter, go to the iPod folder and double click on notes folder to watch the downloaded entries formatted as rer your iPod

The drawback of using notes on iPod is that when you use them , first time it needs to check weather the links are valid which may consume lot of time. In coming time it may become much more easier to acess wikipedia on iPod.
