  Information on Starbucks a Fortune 500 company.

  I'd recommend a brief writeup to introduce your 3 headings, and the goal of the wiki. You could also consolidate some of the subsections in the Findings section and then use subsubsections: this can make organization easier to follow. The criteria for the order of the subsections was a little unclear, and reducing the number of subheadings might help suggest a logical ordering. But good general use of the wiki and gathering of information.

  The history of coffee

  Coffee is as rich as the brew itself, dating back more than a thousand years. The first coffee plants are said to have come from the Horn of Africa on the shores of the Red Sea. Originally, coffee beans were taken as a food and not as a beverage. East African tribes would grind the coffee cherries together, mixing the results into a paste with animal fat. Rolled into little balls, the mixture was said to give warriors much-needed energy for battle. Later, around the year 1000 AD, Ethiopians concocted a type of wine from coffee berries, fermenting the dried beans in water. Coffee also grew naturally on the Arabian Peninsula, and it was there, during the 11th century that coffee was first developed into a hot drink. The so-called stimulating properties of coffee were thought by many during these ancient times to give a sort of religious ecstasy, and the drink earned a very mystical sort of reputation, shrouded in secrecy and associated with priests and doctors. So, it is not surprising that two prominent legends emerged to explain the discovery of this magic bean.
