A "wiki" is a website that allows people who use the website to edit it (or specific portions, like the answers to questions such as this website allows). It allows users to collaborate together to create content.
"Wiki-wiki" is the Hawaiian for "quick." It has come to be associated with community crowd sourcing sites on the Internet that incorporate it into their names. Typically, a wiki site relies upon its members to create content and manage it. Information is posted by anyone, or by authorized members, but no one has ownership.
On a site like WikiAnswers, this is the underlying philosophy. The information here is for the common good, and for common entertainment. It is open to all who accept the few rules and guidelines of the site. We are here together for each other. Self has no place.
"WIKI" is also an acronym that means:
What - I - Know - Is ?
Who is the founder of the masonic idiology?
But, seriously, there is no known "founder of Masonic ideology."
William Schaw, the head Master Mason to King James VI of Scotland is considered to be the "Father of Speculative Masonry," as he instituted rules and regulations for the lodges of Scotland that later inspired the admission of "accepted" or honorary Masons. This practice led to entire lodges consisting of accepted Masons, which led to the speculative fraternity that exists today.
Further, Rev. James Anderson compiled and wrote the first published book on Freemasonry, known as "Anderson's Constitutions of the Freemasons." However, William Preston's "Illustrations of Freemasonry," published in the late 1700s probably had a larger effect on the development of the Masonic ritual as we know it.

Why are certain entries deleted from Wikipedia?
Wikipedia runs on a "consensus" system, at least in theory. An article there can be deleted if enough people feel it is unworthy of an encyclopedic article, or if it meets certain other criteria. One complaint some people have with Wikipedia is that the deletion criteria seem to favor the opinions of a select few, rather than a true majority. This could be due to a lack of participation in the processes laid down, though. First of all, anyone can edit wikipedia. So people can put false information, or something innapropriate. Second, people can delete anything.
