1
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
A new challenge is making Wikipedia available to the developing world as well.

2
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
According to one survey we have about twice the proportion of PHDs

3
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
All the site content is decided by Wikipedia's volunteer contributors.

4
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And in the English Wikipedia almost 50% have no religion,

5
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
As Wikipedia enters its second decade,

6
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
As a founder of Nupedia

7
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
As any reader knows, some articles are very good,

8
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
As of 2010

9
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
But only one person had final publishing authority

10
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
But there is more to it than that.

11
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
But you might be surprised to learn

12
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I led the group to establish a farm team of sources

13
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I still lead the community and the Wikipedia foundation

14
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
In 2003 I created a Wikipedia foundation

15
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It happened to be the perfect way

16
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It’ll be fair to say that most Wikipedians are not average.

17
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It’s incredible what has been accomplished already,

18
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
More daily centers to speed up Wikipedia worldwide,

19
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
One reason may be is that editing a single page is easy,

20
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Other language additions appeared quickly,

21
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Over time as many as 1.2 million people have contributed to Wikipedia.

22
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Some from corporations and institutions,

23
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Soon enough Nupedia couldn’t keep up

24
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
That was called Nupedia,

25
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The Wikipedia foundation has no editorial role whatsoever.

26
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The community is defined by more than two hundred combined policies,

27
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The foundation is a charity, and runs entirely on donations.

28
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The foundation is also growing Wikipedia’s presence worldwide.

29
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The foundation's job is to keep the service running in the right zone.

30
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
There’s never been anything like Wikipedia before,

31
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
We used a new software platform

32
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
We were creating not just a free content encyclopedia,

33
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Who does edit Wikipedia?

34
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Wikipedia celebrated its 10th anniversary in January 2011,

35
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Wikipedia gets almost 400 million visitors every month,

36
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Wikipedia is already very popular in the west and in the north.

37
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Wikipedia is one of the most important websites on the Internet today.

38
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Wikipedia still needs a lot of work.

39
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Yet, this is a new challenge,

40
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and 14.6% of French editors claim to believe in Pastafarianism.

41
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and Wikipedia took center stage.

42
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and even bringing its first office outside the US to India.

43
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and in these 10 years it has become one of the most popular websites in the world.

44
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and it future horizon is very, very long.

45
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and it was soon followed by sister projects

46
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and it wasn’t quite taking off.

47
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and the list of sites visited more often

48
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
but Wikipedia is far from done.

49
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
but a free encyclopedia that anyone can edit.

50
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
but getting heavily involved is harder.

51
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
but making it better,

52
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
but some are not.

53
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
but the vast majority from its millions of editors and readers.

54
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
committees, and noticeboards, wikiprojects and more.

55
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
compared to the general public.

56
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
for future Nupedia articles.

57
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
guidelines and essays,

58
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
helps us to make Wikipedia what it is today.

59
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
in all Wikipedia in all languages.

60
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
is very short and very famous.

61
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
it’s up to all of us to make sure that it gets even better.

62
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
like Wikisource, Wikinews and Wiktionary.

63
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
more accurate,

64
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
more citations,

65
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
not just broad but deep.

66
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
not just building an encyclopedia from scratch,

67
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
of another online encyclopaedia.

68
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
over 270 on the last count,

69
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that it began as a side project

70
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the wiki, Wikipedia.

71
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
there are over 11 million monthly edits

72
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to be a traditional encyclopedia

73
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to ensure that Wikipedia could keep up with its own growth.

74
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to make collaboration easy,

75
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to say nothing of the discussions, reviews,

76
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to write mini pages very quickly.

77
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
written by experts free and online.
