"Since 2001, Wikipedia has been the backbone of knowledge on the internet. Hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation, it remains the only top website in the world run by a nonprofit. Unlike newer projects, Wikipedia's strengths are clear: it has transparent policies, rigorous volunteer oversight, and a strong culture of continuous improvement. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, written to inform billions of readers without promoting a particular point of view."
"Wikipedia's knowledge is - and always will be - human. Through open collaboration and consensus, people from all backgrounds build a neutral, living record of human understanding - one that reflects our diversity and collective curiosity. This human-created knowledge is what AI companies rely on to generate content; even Grokipedia needs Wikipedia to exist. Wikipedia's nonprofit independence - with no ads and no data-selling - also sets it apart from for-profit alternatives."
"We're still in the process of understanding how Grokipedia works. Many experiments to create alternative versions of Wikipedia have happened before; it doesn't interfere with our work or mission. As we approach Wikipedia's 25th anniversary, Wikipedia will continue focusing on providing free, trustworthy knowledge built by its dedicated volunteer community. For more information about how Wikipedia works, visit our website and new blog series."
