"Wikipedia was first founded on January 15, 2001. Today, 25 years later, it has
become the backbone of knowledge on the internet, informing everything from
day-to-day life and AI chatbots to journalism and trivia wins. Nearly 250,000
volunteers write, edit, and fact check its 65 million articles across 300+
languages, all guided by standards on neutrality and reliability.

In 2026, we are celebrating Wikipedia’s 25th birthday. In honor of this
milestone, we interviewed a few volunteer editors from around the world about
what moves them to contribute to Wikipedia’s pages."
