• Wikipedia is a free encyclopedia, written collaboratively by the people that use it.
• It is a special type of website designed to make collaboration easy, called a wiki.
• Many people are constantly improving Wikipedia, making thousands of changes per hour.
• All of these changes are recorded in article histories and recent changes.
• For a more detailed account of the project, see the Introduction page.

Wikipedia editors do lots of different things, including the following:

• create articles
• check facts
• upload relevant images for articles
• add citations to entries
• check articles for grammar
• edit articles so they are easy to read and consume
