Wikipedia stands as humanity's most ambitious collaborative knowledge project, offering free access to over 60 million articles across more than 300 languages. Founded in 2001 by the Wikimedia Foundation, this nonprofit encyclopedia has become the world's largest reference website, serving billions of readers monthly who seek reliable information on virtually every topic imaginable. From scientific concepts to historical events, biographies to cultural phenomena, Wikipedia provides comprehensive coverage created and maintained by a global community of volunteer editors.
The platform's strength lies in its commitment to neutrality, verifiability, and continuous improvement. Every article cites reliable sources, and the collaborative editing model means content is constantly reviewed, updated, and refined by millions of contributors. The open editing policy has created an unprecedented knowledge ecosystem where experts and enthusiasts alike contribute their expertise. Robust discussion pages and established editorial policies help maintain quality while resolving conflicts through consensus.
Beyond articles, Wikipedia offers a rich multimedia experience with millions of images, diagrams, and interactive elements. The platform supports accessibility features, mobile-optimized reading, and offline access through various apps. Wikipedia's sister projects expand its mission to include Wiktionary for definitions, Wikimedia Commons for free media, and Wikidata for structured knowledge. As a cornerstone of the free knowledge movement, Wikipedia continues to democratize access to information worldwide.
