Wikipedia is 'n veeltalige "kopielinkse" ensiklopedie ontwerp om deur enigiemand gelees en gewysig te word. Dit berus op samewerkende verandering en onderhoud deur duisende gebruikers deur middel van wiki-sagteware, en word verskaf en ondersteun deur die nie-winsgewende Wikimedia Stigting. Afgesien van tipiese ensiklopedie-inskrywings sluit Wikipedia ook inligting in wat meer algemeen verbind word met almanakke, aardrykskundige woordeboeke en spesialis-tydskrifte, asook dekking van huidige gebeure.
