The wikis that I've looked at share a lot of things in common. One of the things that they shared was links to web pages, citations, search bars, and a box on the top right hand side that shows info about important dates, organizations, and important people related to the topic. The way that a man named Ward Cunningham came up with a name for a website that host user based info was when he remembered when a guide told him to take the wiki wiki in Honolulu.

Good. Wiki is the Hawaiian word for "quick"; wikis are quickly editable by folks. Consequently they are good for finding casual information (restaurant reviews, sports discussions) but not so great for research purposes (authority of info varies).
Your citation isn't quite right. Check my APA web page for examples. Also, wikipedia gives citation tips. Correct for full credit.
