The fundamental principles of Wikipedia are summarized in its five pillars. It currently has more than fifty-eight million articles in more than 300 languages, including 6,477,629 articles in English with 127,569 active contributors in the past month. Since its creation on January 15, 2001, Wikipedia has grown into the world's largest reference website, attracting 1.7 billion unique-device visitors monthly as of November 2021. Anyone with Internet access and in good standing can write and make changes to Wikipedia articles, except in limited cases where editing is restricted to prevent disruption or vandalism. Wikipedia is written collaboratively by largely anonymous volunteers. Wikipedia's articles provide links to guide readers to related pages with more information. The name "Wikipedia" is a blending of the words wiki (a technology for creating collaborative websites, from the Hawaiian word wiki, meaning "quick") and encyclopedia. It is supported by the Wikimedia Foundation and consists of freely editable content. Wikipedia is an online free-content encyclopedia helping to create a world where everyone can freely share and access all available knowledge.
