What is Wikipedia?
Wikipedia is a huge online encyclopedia that anyone can read for free. It's a place where people from all over the world can share knowledge. Imagine a library with millions of books, but it's all on the internet and constantly updated!
How Wikipedia Works
Wikipedia is special because it's a "wiki." This means that most of its articles are written and edited by volunteers. People who know a lot about a topic can add information or correct mistakes. This way, Wikipedia keeps growing and getting better all the time.
Many Languages
Wikipedia isn't just in English. It's available in hundreds of different languages! Each language has its own version of Wikipedia. This helps people around the globe learn and share information in their native tongue.
