Wikipedia

Wikipedia is a free, online encyclopedia that combines a vast repository of knowledge with detailed rankings, data, and statistics to serve as a comprehensive information hub. Established in 2001 by Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger, it has grown to become one of the most visited websites globally, hosting millions of articles across diverse topics, disciplines, and languages.

In addition to its articles, Wikipedia provides structured data and insights through its content, offering users access to rankings, statistics, and other critical information. Its unique open-editing model encourages collaboration from a worldwide volunteer community, ensuring that content is continuously updated and refined.

Guided by principles of neutrality, verifiability, and transparency, Wikipedia is a trusted resource for students, researchers, and professionals. As a non-profit platform operated by the Wikimedia Foundation, it remains free and accessible to all, empowering users with the knowledge and data they need to understand and navigate the world.
