User:Al83tito/subpage1

This is a subpage of user Al83tito. Here I am drafting a personal summary of different aspects of Wikipedia. This is not an official policy page, but rather a user essay. Furthermore I am working on it slowly, so it will be incomplete (and possibly inaccurate) for a long time.

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia created in 2001. It nested in a parent organization called the Wikimedia Foundation. Wikipedia's existence can be explained by the existence of four main components: the encyclopedic articles (the visible output and its raison d'etre); the technological and legal "infrastructure" that makes it possible; the set of policies that govern it; and the user community that contributes to it.

Normative structure. Project structure.
