00:00:05,113 --> 00:00:07,688
I'm Jimmy Wales,
founder of Wikipedia,

2
00:00:07,855 --> 00:00:10,791
and today we're celebrating
the 10th anniversary of Wikipedia.

3
00:00:11,108 --> 00:00:13,508
It's hard to imagine
that it's been ten years

4
00:00:13,675 --> 00:00:15,859
since I first edited Wikipedia.

5
00:00:16,026 --> 00:00:17,327
I remember that first day.

6
00:00:17,494 --> 00:00:19,581
I clicked on "Edit"
and I wrote "Hello World"

7
00:00:19,748 --> 00:00:22,863
and that was the beginning of Wikipedia
and all the things that have come since then.

8
00:00:23,281 --> 00:00:25,816
Today we've got millions of articles

9
00:00:25,983 --> 00:00:27,654
in hundreds of languages.

10
00:00:28,312 --> 00:00:32,342
These days about 400 million people a month
visit the website

11
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:35,345
and that's just an astounding thing
to have happened.

12
00:00:35,512 --> 00:00:37,489
If you really think about 
the impact on our culture

13
00:00:37,656 --> 00:00:38,790
it's staggering.

14
00:00:38,957 --> 00:00:40,506
And it's all thanks to you.

15
00:00:40,673 --> 00:00:43,082
I want to thank
everybody who's helped.

16
00:00:43,426 --> 00:00:45,432
I want to thank all the people
who've edited Wikipedia,

17
00:00:45,599 --> 00:00:47,642
who've contributed
to this great knowledge base.

18
00:00:47,809 --> 00:00:49,852
I want to thank everybody
who's reading Wikipedia

19
00:00:50,019 --> 00:00:52,735
who's really engaging
with ideas and knowledge.

20
00:00:52,902 --> 00:00:54,974
That's what we made it for.
We made it for you to read.

21
00:00:55,141 --> 00:00:58,202
And I've a little bit of a call to action,
a little request for everybody.

22
00:00:58,511 --> 00:01:00,926
Even though that we've got
millions of articles.

23
00:01:01,165 --> 00:01:03,254
Even though we're in hundreds of languages.

24
00:01:03,421 --> 00:01:05,122
There is still lot of work to do.

25
00:01:05,289 --> 00:01:08,639
So I want everybody out there
if you've never edited Wikipedia, try it.

26
00:01:08,806 --> 00:01:09,915
Give a try. Click on "Edit".

27
00:01:10,082 --> 00:01:11,747
You see some problems?
Fix it for us.

28
00:01:11,914 --> 00:01:13,190
We really appreciate it.

29
00:01:13,357 --> 00:01:16,492
And... Well.
Happy birthday Wikipedia.
