@wikipedia Many happy returns (and edits and contributions) of the day!

@wikipedia Only 24 years? I remember a lecturer complaining about us students using references to Wikipedia in 2003 when it must have been quite new. Didn't stop us.
It's my favourite source of information.

@wikipedia so is Creative Commons. That's two birthdays in one.

@wikipedia Congratulations! How does it feel to have simultaneously replaced physical encyclopedias and trivia of the day calendars? (Jk about the trivia calendars, their still around])

@wikipedia Incredible! I remember having to go to the library to research in Encylopaedia Britannica, you would always end up waiting to get the volume you wanted and often ended up wandering along a different path. Of course, by the time it was printed, information was often out of date by a few years. Wikipedia has kept that loose thread to follow feel, and it’s testament to all those working on it that’s remained current and reliable. AI could never replace that.

@wikipedia Happy Birthday! An increasingly rare source of trustworthy data. No wonder the Alt right hate it. Donate to support if you can.

@wikipedia Congratulations! For some reason, I thought it must have been around even longer. Here's to the next 24 years and hopefully many years beyond that!
