There are 6.5 million Wikipedia entries in the English language alone, and over the past two decades, this ever-evolving, user-generated platform has achieved a level of credibility to go along with its popularity. In an average month, the site registers more than 18 billion page views worldwide. It’s not 100% accurate, but it has far from crumbled under the weight of online misinformation.
Wikipedia is largely maintained by a group of invested volunteer editors called Wikipedians, some of whom organize into smaller networks based on interests or geography. One the few states to have its own Wikipedian group is North Carolina.
