About the brand ❤️
Wikipedia is a free, collaboratively edited online encyclopedia available in hundreds of languages. Launched in January 2001, it quickly grew as a volunteer‐driven platform where anyone with internet access can create and edit articles. In 2003, the Wikimedia Foundation was created to provide stable infrastructure, legal oversight, fundraising, and governance. The Foundation does not directly write content; instead, volunteer editors around the world curate, update, and maintain the encyclopedia. Over time, Wikipedia became one of the most visited websites globally, known for its breadth of articles, open licensing (Creative Commons), and commitment to neutrality, sourcing, and accessibility. It also spurred a family of “Wikimedia projects” like Wikidata, Wikiquote, Wikibooks, and Commons. The brand represents collective knowledge, openness, and the idea that free information should be universally available.
