Wikimediaprojektien

Wikimediaprojektien are a collection of free-content projects run by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation. These projects aim to provide a free and open repository of knowledge, accessible to everyone. The flagship project is Wikipedia, the free online encyclopedia, which is available in over 300 languages. Other notable projects include Wiktionary, a free dictionary; Wikibooks, a free textbook collection; Wikiquote, a collection of quotations; Wikisource, a free library of source texts; Wikinews, a free-content news service; and Wikimedia Commons, a free media repository.

The projects are built on the principle of open collaboration, allowing anyone to contribute, edit, and improve the content. This collaborative approach fosters a diverse and inclusive community of contributors, including experts, enthusiasts, and casual editors. The projects are supported by a global community of volunteers, as well as donations from individuals and organizations.

Wikimediaprojektien are licensed under Creative Commons licenses, which allow for free use, distribution, and adaptation of the content, provided that proper attribution is given. This licensing model ensures that the knowledge created is freely accessible and can be used for various purposes, including education, research, and commercial applications.

The Wikimedia Foundation provides technical infrastructure, legal support, and administrative services to the projects. It also coordinates efforts to promote the projects, raise awareness, and engage the community. The foundation's mission is to empower and engage people around the world to collect and develop educational content under a free license or in the public domain, and to disseminate it effectively and globally.

Wikimediaprojektien have had a significant impact on the way information is created, shared, and accessed. They have democratized knowledge, making it more accessible and inclusive. The projects have also played a crucial role in promoting digital literacy and education, particularly in regions with limited access to traditional educational resources.
