Online encyclopedia Wikipedia turns 20.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

On Jan. 15, 2001, Wikipedia went online as\u00a0a rigorous seven-step process for publishing articles written by volunteers. To the day,\u00a0it is curating more than 55.6 million articles written by\u00a0300,000 editors (or \u201cWikipedians\u201d) who volunteer their time to write, edit, block, squabble over, and scrub every corner of the sprawling encyclopedia in more than 300 languages.<\/p>\n

Wikipedia is currently the 13th-most-popular website (ahead of Netflix and Reddit). Its reputation is also shinier than those of other internet platforms such as Facebook and Google, making it the indispensable reference for the world.<\/p>\n

CEO Jimmy Wales credits Wikipedia\u2019s nonprofit structure for preventing a descent into viral misinformation. Wikipedia\u2019s revenue comes from grants and user donations, not advertising or investors expecting explosive growth.<\/p>\n

But, One Zero adds<\/a>, it is not perfect. There is trolling. There are vandals. There is bullying of \u201cnewbies\u201d by editors. And there are imposters who edit not for the greater good but to serve the greed, vanity, or ambition of self-interested (sometimes paying) parties. And, yes, there are many, many weak and thinly sourced articles (only about 40,000\u00a0out of the site\u2019s 6 million entries meet the higher standard of being \u201cgood articles\u201d). There is also\u00a0a gender imbalance<\/a>\u00a0within the domain of Wikipedia \u2014 in English Wikipedia, more than 80% of editors are men and just 18% of biographies are about women.<\/p>\n

Regardless, the internet\u2019s encyclopedia is now a cornerstone of life online, and just one year away from legal drinking.<\/p>\n
