WikipediaWorld is a free, web-based encyclopedia that allows users to collaboratively write and edit articles on a vast array of topics. Founded in January 2001 by Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger, it has grown to become one of the largest and most popular reference websites, attracting millions of visitors daily. The platform operates under the principles of open collaboration, where anyone with internet access can edit most articles, making it a unique example of user-generated content.

One of Wikipedia's defining features is its commitment to neutrality and verifiability. Articles are expected to present information in a balanced manner, citing reliable sources to support claims. This approach aims to provide readers with accurate and trustworthy content. Wikipedia's extensive guidelines and policies help maintain the quality of its entries, including notability criteria for topics and standards for reliable sourcing.
