# Google might have 1,000,000 servers. Yahoo has something like 13,000 staff. We have 679 servers and 138 staff.
# We’re the fifth most visited website in the world, providing free knowledge to half a billion people every month.
# Volunteers create Wikipedia, but we have the same costs of any big website: servers, connection, power, rent, and technical staff.
# We’re funded by our readers, not by ads or corporate sponsors.
# Wikipedia is offered in 284 languages, with more than 20 million total articles.
