What is Wikipedia :
Wikipedia is a free internet based encyclopedia. Let me tell you that Encyclopedia is a reference work which provides knowledge of all branches and also provides knowledge of a particular area. In this way, only that which is filled with knowledge of the whole world is called Encyclopedia.
If you look at the Wikipedia logo properly, it is an unfinished globe in which letters of different languages are written in different pieces. This can be understood from the logo of Wikipedia itself, i.e. an encyclopedia in which knowledge about almost everything is available in different languages, is known as Wikipedia on the Internet.
In other words, understand that Wikipedia is made up of two words, Wiki and Encyclopedia, Wiki means Quick and Encyclopedia, then you have already known that the one which gives quick knowledge of the entire world is Wikipedia.
Wikipedia started on January 15, 2001 and was started by Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger, the name Wikipedia was kept by Larry Sanger. Wikipedia comes under the Wikimedia Foundation, which is a charitable non-profit organization and runs on donations.
