First Impressions:
When I first saw the name "What was it wik?", I wasn't quite sure what to expect. The very name intrigued me, and I actually clicked the link before I even decided that I was going to write a review for your website. The very name made me wonder exactly what the website was about, and it was enough to convince me to visit. When I actually clicked the website, I was a tad bit confused.
When I look at your header, I'm greeted by an owl. An owl is an awesome idea for a wiki logo! Owls symbolize knowledge in ancient Greek culture, and I can tell that you're attempting to draw the same type of connection. As beautiful as the idea is, the implementation could use a tad bit of work. As I said earlier, I love the idea of an owl, but that owl doesn't look that great, in all honesty. The logo looks very pixelated. I would highly recommend that you look at the
Graphic Marketplace and see if an FP member would be interested in designing you a logo. It's an awesome idea, but it could just use a tad bit of touch up! Carrying on with the logo - the grammar could and should be a little bit better. Currently, your logo's text reads "Hi there, i'm wik! You can ask any term to me" - I like the name of the owl; however, the "I" and the name of the owl ("Wik") should both be capitalized.

Site Structure:
Overall, your site is structured well. If I was looking for specific information, it wouldn't be too hard to find. The search even works fairly well! Great job!
While I do feel that your website is structured well, it does feel a little over-organized; as odd as that may sound. When I first look at your website, I'm almost sucked into your organization. That's not especially a bad thing, as much as it's something that you can look to improve. Example: While it's easy to find everything on your website, it seems to be using up too much of your space. Especially after the "Social sciences and society" section, everything else feels like it's overdone. Just removing everything below that would make a much more compact website. You have a well-functioning search bar anyway, so you don't need to go too crazy with how many categories you add to your homepage.

Business Sensibility:
This is a tad bit of a tough category, since you don't have any ads or anything. However, you definitively have some potential here! The area to the right of "Technology" can be used to have a sidebar ad without being intrusive whatsoever. In addition, you could probably restructure your "What is the Wik" area (by moving it down a tad) and adding a billboard ad. Billboard ads are without a doubt the ads that will give you the most back. However, if you aren't looking to make money off this site, I don't recommend that you add ads. While you might be able to make a little bit of money, you're still a fairly young website, and it'd be a shame to have any visitors leave due to ads when you're not hurting for the money.
Moving to SEO: Your site could use some work in this category. Your meta tag needs some work. Google actually ignores meta words that it cannot understand. Words like "what is the wik" and "wik" will not be remembered by Google. I'd recommend that you just remove words like that - since they can't help you. The shorter the meta tag, the better. I'd recommend that you run your website through Google's Webmaster Tool
here.
Poor
The thing I liked the best: The attempt that you made to be original. I like the owl!
The thing I liked the least: Honestly - the design. I didn't have too much of a chance to review that, but I'd recommend that you clean up that header.
Overall Mark:
I like the start you've made! As I said numerous times in this review, I really like the owl and the uniqueness that it brings. You have some things that you can fix on your website (namely the design); however, if you stick with the project, I think it'll go well. Best of luck!
