1 00:00:05,408 --> 00:00:08,351 Hello, I'm Jimmy Wales, founder of Wikipedia 

2 00:00:08,351 --> 00:00:11,487 and today we're celebrating the 10th anniversary of Wikipedia.

3 00:00:11,487 --> 00:00:16,467 It's hard to imagine that it's been ten years since I first edited Wikipedia.

4 00:00:16,467 --> 00:00:23,472 I remember that first day. I clicked on "Edit" and I wrote "Hello World" and that was the beginning of Wikipedia and all the things that have come since then.

5 00:00:23,472 --> 00:00:27,821 Today we've got millions of articles in hundreds of languages.

6 00:00:27,821 --> 00:00:33,1 These days about 400 million people a month visit the website.

7 00:00:33,1 --> 00:00:40,924 and that's just an astounding thing to have happened. If you really think about the impact on our culture it's staggering.

8 00:00:41,032 --> 00:00:43,609 And it's all thanks to you. I want to thank everybody who's helped.

9 00:00:43,610 --> 00:00:45,624 I want to thank all the people who've edited Wikipedia, 

10 00:00:45,624 --> 00:00:47,510 who've contributed to this great knowledge base.

11 00:00:45,624 --> 00:00:50,101 I want to thank everybody who's reading Wikipedia,

12 00:00:50,102 --> 00:00:52,800 who's really engaging with ideas and knowledge.

13 00:00:52,801 --> 00:00:55,107 That's what we made it for. We made it for you to read.

14 00:00:55,108 --> 00:00:57,406 And I have a little bit of a call to action, a little request for everybody.

15 00:00:57,406 --> 00:01:04,009 Even though that we've got millions of articles, even though we're in hundreds of languages.

16 00:01:04,009 --> 00:01:07,462 There is still a lot of work to do. So I want everybody out there, 

17 00:01:07,462 --> 00:01:10,051 if you've never edited Wikipedia, try it. Give a try. 

18 00:01:10,051 --> 00:01:13,736 Click on "Edit". You see some problems ? Fix it for us. We really appreciate it.

19 00:01:14,151 --> 00:01:17,752 And... Well. Happy birthday Wikipedia.

20 00:01:19,428 --> 00:01:26,49 Wikipedia 10 years of sharing the sum of all knowledge.
