Wikipedia at 25: how trust built the internet's encyclopaedia
Published 1 week, 1 day ago
Description
Wikipedia celebrates its 25th anniversary as the world's largest free online encyclopaedia, comprising over 65 million pages created by hundreds of thousands of volunteer editors across 300 languages. Founder Jimmy Wales discusses how Wikipedia's trust-based collaborative model has evolved from being questioned in the 2000s to becoming one of the internet's most reliable resources. Wales argues that Wikipedia's community-driven approach, detailed in his new project 'The Seven Rules of Trust', could serve as a blueprint for addressing modern society's divisive challenges and rebuilding trust in leadership and institutions.
