That's what makes Wikipedia different. It's not something written by a few individuals. It's something written by everybody.

Of course, Wikipedia is a big project &mdash; and there are a lot of ways to help. 

Personally, I don't write much anymore. Instead, I do 
‘housekeeping’. I clear away spam. When people get confused, I help them out. When they have questions about policy, I explain it to them. And when someone vandalizes an article &mdash; by intentionally adding nonsense or bad information &mdash; I revert their edits. 

It's really amazing. Wikipedia is the fifth most popular website on the internet, but it's supported purely by donations. To me, that proves that people really care about knowledge. 

Wikipedia is about all of these people coming together.
