Wikipedia 2024 Year in Review
A Celebration of Shared Knowledge
Wikipedia is the largest knowledge resource ever assembled in the history of the world, and itβs freely available to everyone everywhere. Itβs there when you want to learn about our changing world, win a bet among friends, or answer a curious childβs question.
Wikipedia has once again been the worldβs go-to source for answers, capturing our collective curiosity in 2024. From pop culture shocks to global events, Wikipedia tells the story of our year β one thatβs been shaped by millions of volunteer editors around the world. This year, Wikipedia hosted over 4.5 billion hours of reading in 300+ languages, with nearly 82 million edits enriching its articles. We explored everything from cricket tournaments to international elections, and Wikipediaβs volunteer community kept us informed every step of the way.
The Wikimedia Foundation, the nonprofit behind Wikipedia, keeps this global treasure ad-free and trustworthy. But none of this would be possible without your support. Every edit, every byte of knowledge β all offered freely β depends on the generosity of people like you. By donating, youβre not just supporting a website; youβre helping build the largest, most accessible knowledge resource ever created. Whether itβs $3 or $30, your gift keeps Wikipedia running and free for everyone.
Letβs keep unlocking the worldβs knowledge together. Consider donating today to make sure Wikipedia continues to be here, for everyone, always.
