Wikipedia is a huge online encyclopedia that anyone can edit! It's like a giant library of information, but it's all on the internet. What's really cool is that Wikipedia isn't just in English; it's available in hundreds of different languages from all around the world. This means people can learn about almost anything in their own language.

Wikipedia: A World of Knowledge
Imagine a place where you can find information on nearly every topic you can think of. That's Wikipedia! It's a free website created by millions of volunteers who write and update articles. These articles cover everything from history and science to famous people and places. Because so many people contribute, Wikipedia keeps growing and getting better all the time.
Many Languages, Many Articles
Did you know that Wikipedia is available in over 300 different languages? Each language version is its own separate Wikipedia, with its own set of articles. Some language Wikipedias are very big, with millions of articles, while others are smaller. The size of a Wikipedia often depends on how many people speak that language and how many volunteers contribute to it.

Working Together Across Languages
Even though each language Wikipedia is separate, they often work together. For example, an article written in English might be translated into Spanish, or a new article might be started in one language and then expanded by editors in other languages. This helps share knowledge across different cultures and communities.
