99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
A new challenge is making Wikipedia available to the developing world as well.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
According to one survey we have about twice the proportion of PHDs

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
All the site content is decided by Wikipedia's volunteer contributors.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And in the English Wikipedia almost 50% have no religion,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
As Wikipedia enters its second decade,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
As a founder of Nupedia

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
As any reader knows, some articles are very good,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
As of 2010

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But only one person had final publishing authority

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But there is more to it than that.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But you might be surprised to learn

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I led the group to establish a farm team of sources

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I still lead the community and the Wikipedia foundation

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
In 2003 I created a Wikipedia foundation

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It happened to be the perfect way

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It’ll be fair to say that most Wikipedians are not average.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It’s incredible what has been accomplished already,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
More daily centers to speed up Wikipedia worldwide,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
One reason may be is that editing a single page is easy,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Other language additions appeared quickly,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Over time as many as 1.2 million people have contributed to Wikipedia.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Some from corporations and institutions,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Soon enough Nupedia couldn’t keep up

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
That was called Nupedia,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The Wikipedia foundation has no editorial role whatsoever.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The community is defined by more than two hundred combined policies,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The foundation is a charity, and runs entirely on donations.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The foundation is also growing Wikipedia’s presence worldwide.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The foundation's job is to keep the service running in the right zone.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
There’s never been anything like Wikipedia before,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We used a new software platform

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We were creating not just a free content encyclopedia,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Who does edit Wikipedia?

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Wikipedia celebrated its 10th anniversary in January 2011,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Wikipedia gets almost 400 million visitors every month,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Wikipedia is already very popular in the west and in the north.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Wikipedia is one of the most important websites on the Internet today.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Wikipedia still needs a lot of work.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Yet, this is a new challenge,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and 14.6% of French editors claim to believe in Pastafarianism.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and Wikipedia took center stage.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and even bringing its first office outside the US to India.

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.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and it future horizon is very, very long.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and it was soon followed by sister projects

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and it wasn’t quite taking off.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and the list of sites visited more often

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but Wikipedia is far from done.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but a free encyclopedia that anyone can edit.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but getting heavily involved is harder.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but making it better,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but some are not.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but the vast majority from its millions of editors and readers.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
committees, and noticeboards, wikiprojects and more.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
compared to the general public.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
for future Nupedia articles.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
guidelines and essays,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
helps us to make Wikipedia what it is today.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
in all Wikipedia in all languages.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
is very short and very famous.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
it’s up to all of us to make sure that it gets even better.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
like Wikisource, Wikinews and Wiktionary.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
more accurate,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
more citations,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
not just broad but deep.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
not just building an encyclopedia from scratch,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
of another online encyclopaedia.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
over 270 on the last count,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that it began as a side project

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
the wiki, Wikipedia.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
there are over 11 million monthly edits

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to be a traditional encyclopedia

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to ensure that Wikipedia could keep up with its own growth.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to make collaboration easy,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to say nothing of the discussions, reviews,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to write mini pages very quickly.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
written by experts free and online.
