The World

The collaborative online encyclopedia site, Wikipedia, celebrates its 10-year anniversary on Saturday. It’s the largest encyclopedia ever made, with three and a half million articles in English alone and seventeen million articles globally. To create and edit all of that information, the site relies on volunteers. They call themselves ?Wikipedians.” Andrea James, a Wikipedian, shares her story and what motivates her to contribute to the site.
