I'm Jimmy Wales,[br]founder of Wikipedia,

0:00:07.855,0:00:10.791
and today we're celebrating[br]the 10th anniversary of Wikipedia.

0:00:11.108,0:00:13.508
It's hard to imagine[br]that it's been ten years

0:00:13.675,0:00:15.859
since I first edited Wikipedia.

0:00:16.026,0:00:17.327
I remember that first day.

0:00:17.494,0:00:19.581
I clicked on "Edit"[br]and I wrote "Hello World"

0:00:19.748,0:00:22.863
and that was the beginning of Wikipedia[br]and all the things that have come since then.

0:00:23.281,0:00:25.816
Today we've got millions of articles

0:00:25.983,0:00:27.654
in hundreds of languages.

0:00:28.312,0:00:32.342
These days about 400 million people a month[br]visit the website

0:00:32.680,0:00:35.345
and that's just an astounding thing[br]to have happened.

0:00:35.512,0:00:37.489
If you really think about [br]the impact on our culture

0:00:37.656,0:00:38.790
it's staggering.

0:00:38.957,0:00:40.506
And it's all thanks to you.

0:00:40.673,0:00:43.082
I want to thank[br]everybody who's helped.

0:00:43.426,0:00:45.432
I want to thank all the people[br]who've edited Wikipedia,

0:00:45.599,0:00:47.642
who've contributed[br]to this great knowledge base.

0:00:47.809,0:00:49.852
I want to thank everybody[br]who's reading Wikipedia

0:00:50.019,0:00:52.735
who's really engaging[br]with ideas and knowledge.

0:00:52.902,0:00:54.974
That's what we made it for.[br]We made it for you to read.

0:00:55.141,0:00:58.202
And I've a little bit of a call to action,[br]a little request for everybody.

0:00:58.511,0:01:00.926
Even though that we've got[br]millions of articles.

0:01:01.165,0:01:03.254
Even though we're in hundreds of languages.

0:01:03.421,0:01:05.122
There is still lot of work to do.

0:01:05.289,0:01:08.639
So I want everybody out there[br]if you've never edited Wikipedia, try it.

0:01:08.806,0:01:09.915
Give a try. Click on "Edit".

0:01:10.082,0:01:11.747
You see some problems?[br]Fix it for us.

0:01:11.914,0:01:13.190
We really appreciate it.

0:01:13.357,0:01:16.492
And... Well.[br]Happy birthday Wikipedia.
