Wikipedia Launched as a Complementary Project | Estateplanning

Wikipedia, launched on January 15, 2001, by Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger, was initially a complementary project to Nupedia, aiming to provide a free and open online encyclopedia. The concept of a free-as-in-freedom online encyclopedia was first proposed by Richard Stallman in 1998. Wikipedia's launch marked a significant shift in the way people access and contribute to knowledge online.
