Since its first emergence in 2001, Wikipedia had grown drastically to
become the fifth most viewed website over the Internet in 2012. With
over 12,000,000 articles in more than 250 languages this is now the
largest source of information ever existed. The Wikimedia foundation
has been founded in 2003 as a non-profit organization to support
Wikipedia as well as other online and offline free content projects.<br>
<br>
In this talk I will present Wikipedia and other projects of the
Wikimedia foundation and how they work. I will show how one can become
a Wikipedia editor and why would she want to do so. We will talk about
readers, editors, Neutrality, reliability, dispute resolution, style
and free content. </p>
