Wikipedia Day

Wikipedia Day is a special day on January 15th to celebrate the birthday of Wikipedia, an online encyclopedia where people from all over the world can add information about many topics. Just like you can read books to learn new things, Wikipedia lets you do this on the internet. Wikipedia started on January 15, 2001, so every year on this day, people remember when it began and how it helps everyone learn new stuff. It's like a big library that is open to everyone, and they celebrate how people from different places work together to share knowledge.

How to celebrate Wikipedia Day?

Start the day by reading about something fun or interesting on Wikipedia. You could also find a new article topic and learn how to make small edits to help improve it. Draw a picture of a fact you learned or write a short story inspired by something you read. Play a trivia game with friends or family, using Wikipedia to find cool questions and answers. You can make Wikipedia cookies in the shape of the letter "W." At the end of the day, tell your family about the coolest thing you discovered, and thank all the people who make Wikipedia possible!
