Wikipedia’s History | A Short Documentary by OCEP Academy on the History of the Wikipedia
Wikipedia, founded on January 15, 2001, by Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger, represents a revolutionary chapter in the history of online information sharing. Emerging from the idea of creating a freely editable encyclopedia accessible to all, Wikipedia quickly transformed into a global collaborative effort. Initially launched in English, the platform expanded to encompass a multitude of languages, fostering a diverse community of contributors. Wikipedia’s unique open-editing model enables individuals worldwide to contribute, edit, and curate content, making it a dynamic and comprehensive knowledge repository. Despite challenges related to content accuracy and vandalism, the platform’s robust community, supported by the Wikimedia Foundation, has continually refined and expanded its offerings. Today, Wikipedia stands as one of the most visited websites globally, providing a wealth of information on an extensive array of topics, and exemplifying the power of collective knowledge and collaboration in the digital age.
