Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia launched in January 2001 by Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger. It is run by the nonprofit Wikimedia Foundation, and its articles are written and edited by volunteers. It is published in hundreds of language editions.

Because its articles are densely interlinked and released under free licenses, Wikipedia is often used as training data for language models and as material for information retrieval experiments.
