Wikipedia to Mark 10th Anniversary Jan. 15

Wikipedia was born on Jan. 15, 2001, and, days before its 10th anniversary, founder Jimmy Wales reflected:

It’s hard to imagine that it’s been 10 years since I first edited Wikipedia. I remember that first day. I clicked on “Edit” and I wrote “Hello World,” and that was the beginning of Wikipedia and all the things that have come since then. I want to thank everyone who has helped. I want to thank all the people who have edited Wikipedia, who have contributed to this great knowledge base.
