Profile and evidence context

Wikipedia is a free online encyclopedia written and maintained by a community of volunteer editors, known as Wikipedians, through open collaboration and the wiki software MediaWiki. Founded by Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger in 2001, Wikipedia has been hosted since 2003 by the Wikimedia Foundation, an American nonprofit organization funded mainly by donations from readers. Wikipedia is the largest and most read reference work in history. Last-known identity confidence is 98% from 3 cited sources. At the last analysis, wikipedia.org received 86/100 for technical quality; this is not a safety score. Registry data reported creation on Jan 13, 2001; registration age alone does not establish legitimacy.

Evidence-based answers

Questions about wikipedia.org

Answers use the same dated evidence as this report. Unknown or unavailable results are never treated as clearance.

What is wikipedia.org?

Wikipedia is a free online encyclopedia written and maintained by a community of volunteer editors, known as Wikipedians, through open collaboration and the wiki software MediaWiki. Founded by Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger in 2001, Wikipedia has been hosted since 2003 by the Wikimedia Foundation, an American nonprofit organization funded mainly by donations from readers. Wikipedia is the largest and most read reference work in history. Last-known identity confidence is 98% from 3 cited sources. This last-known sourced identity is separate from live-crawl access and safety conclusions.

Evidence status: stale; current conditions may differ.
Is wikipedia.org safe to use?

The available evidence does not support a current safety conclusion for wikipedia.org. Unknown, stale or unavailable checks are not clearance.

Evidence status: stale; current conditions may differ.
How did wikipedia.org perform in Depais technical checks?

At the last analysis on Oct 1, 2026, wikipedia.org scored 86/100 for observed page implementation, with 100% planned evidence coverage. This metric is not a trust or safety score.

Evidence status: stale; current conditions may differ.
What do registration and infrastructure records show for wikipedia.org?

Registry data reports wikipedia.org was created on Jan 13, 2001 (9,406 days old at that observation). It was registered through MarkMonitor Inc.; registrar identity does not establish the owner or endorse the site. The observed endpoint mapped to AS14907 · Wikimedia-esams-infra · NL allocation; this is network-allocation context, not owner identity or physical origin. At the last observation, the TLS certificate was valid until Nov 3, 2026; current certificate status may differ. DNSSEC authentication was not observed. Its absence alone does not mean the website is unsafe.

What do published reviews say about wikipedia.org?

No published community reviews are available for wikipedia.org yet. Their absence is not positive or negative evidence about the website.
