Overview
[edit]Wikipedia is one of the most remarkable achievements of the digital age and a powerful symbol of collaborative knowledge creation. Launched on 15 January 2001, Wikipedia was founded on a simple yet revolutionary idea: that knowledge should be free, open, and accessible to everyone. What began as a small experiment has, over the last 25 years, evolved into the world’s largest free encyclopedia—built and maintained entirely by a global community of volunteers.
Available in 300+ languages, Wikipedia serves billions of readers across the world and has become a trusted starting point for learning, research, and exploration. Beyond being an encyclopedia, it represents a movement rooted in openness, transparency, and collective responsibility. Alongside its sister projects—such as Wikimedia Commons, Wikidata, and Wikisource—Wikipedia continues to shape how knowledge is created, shared, and preserved.
Celebrating 25 Years of Wikipedia
[edit]The 25th Birthday of Wikipedia is a significant milestone for the free knowledge movement. This celebration reflects on a journey shaped by volunteers, contributors, technologists, educators, and community leaders who believe in the power of open knowledge. It is an opportunity to:
- Celebrate 25 years of community-driven knowledge
- Recognize the contributions of volunteers and contributors
- Promote digital literacy, inclusivity, and open access
- Inspire the next generation of Wikimedia contributors
As Wikipedia looks toward the future, the focus remains on strengthening communities, addressing knowledge gaps, and ensuring equitable access to information for all.
