Welcome to Wikipedia!

You've reached www.wikipedia.com — but our main site is at http://www.wikipedia.org .

Why?

Wikipedia is not like any other website. Our mission is to enable everyone in the world to use and develop free content educational materials. Wikipedia is run by the 501(c)(3) not-for-profit Wikimedia Foundation. We're not out to sell products or advertisements, and almost all of our support comes from donations from readers like you.

Please support Wikipedia by donating, and help us achieve our goals: the world's best quality and most comprehensive encyclopedia, available to all the world's people in all the world's languages, for free access and free re-use.
