Wikipedia is now 25 years old — world’s 7th most popular website now has over 7 million English articles and 7 billion monthly visitors

Wikipedia, celebrating its 25th anniversary, has grown to be the 7th most popular website globally with over 7 million English articles and 7 billion monthly visitors. Initially facing criticism for its open editing system, Wikipedia has evolved into a trusted resource with high accuracy. Co-founder Jimmy Wales made the first Wikipedia edit using an iMac, marking a significant milestone in tech history. The platform's success has led to its integration into Google's knowledge graph and availability in 342 languages, solidifying its position as a top non-commercial web destination.
