Anyone can edit Simple Electronics Wiki. It's a wiki that aims to be a succinct and easily understood introduction to practical entry-level electronics, as well as being a useful reference. The intended audience for this wiki is the amateur experimenter. In fact the best way to learn about electronics is by doing practical experiments.
See something that needs fixing? Go ahead and edit it, but keep it simple.
List of topics

Although each is self contained, the top level articles listed here are written to be read sequentially, each topic leading to better understanding of ones that follow.
Units and symbols
- Current
- Voltage aka potential difference
- Units of measurement - abbreviations and conventions, SI units, (mm not mil)
- Electronic symbol
- Circuit diagram and datasheet
- Conductor and insulator
