The
English Wikipedia
is the primary
English-language
edition of
Wikipedia
, an
online encyclopedia
. It was created by
Jimmy Wales
and
Larry Sanger
on 15
January 2001, as Wikipedia's first edition.
English Wikipedia is hosted alongside
other language editions
by the
Wikimedia Foundation
, an
American nonprofit organization
. Its content, written independently of other editions by volunteer editors known as
Wikipedians
is in various
varieties of English
while aiming to stay consistent within articles. Its internal newspaper is
The Signpost
English Wikipedia is the
most read version of Wikipedia
accounting for 48% of Wikipedia's cumulative
traffic
, with the remaining percentage split among the other languages.
The English Wikipedia has the most articles of any edition, at 7,172,448 as of April 2026.
It contains
10.7% of articles in all Wikipedias,
although it lacks millions of articles found in other editions.
The edition's one-billionth edit was made on 13
January 2021 by editor
Steven Pruitt
English Wikipedia, often as a stand-in for Wikipedia overall, has been praised for its enablement of the
democratization of knowledge
, extent of coverage, unique structure, culture, and reduced degree of commercial bias.
It has been criticized
for exhibiting
systemic bias
, particularly
gender bias
against women and
ideological bias
While
its reliability
was frequently criticized in the 2000s, it has improved over time, receiving greater praise in the late 2010s and throughout the 2020s,
having become
an important fact-checking site
10
11
English Wikipedia has been characterized as having less
cultural bias
than other language editions due to its broader editor base.

The English Wikipedia surpassed seven million articles on 28 May 2025.
12
In November 2022, the total volume of the compressed texts of its articles amounted to 20
gigabytes
13
The edition's one-billionth edit was made on 13 January 2021 by
Ser Amantio di Nicolao
(Steven Pruitt) who was as of that date and remains as of January 2026 the user with the
highest number of edits on the English Wikipedia
, at over four million.
(as of January 2026, this figure was more than 6.7 million, as per Wikipedia statistics). Currently, there are 7,172,448 articles created with 966,724 files. The encyclopedia is home to
10.7% of articles in all Wikipedias (down from more than 50% in 2003).
14
15
The English Wikipedia currently has 52,495,231 registered accounts of which 811 are administrators.
Bureaucracy
Editors of the English Wikipedia have pioneered some ideas as conventions, policies or features which were later adopted by Wikipedia editions in some of the other languages. These ideas include "featured articles",
16
the neutral-point-of-view policy,
17
navigation templates,
18
the sorting of short "stub" articles into sub-categories,
19
dispute resolution
mechanisms such as
mediation
and
arbitration
20
and weekly collaborations.

22
The English Wikipedia (marked blue in the graph) is the most-read version of Wikipedia, accounting for 48% of the website's global traffic as of 2021.
The English Wikipedia has consistently been the most edited Wikipedia language version.
The English Wikipedia reached 4,000,000 registered user accounts on 1 April 2007,
23
over a year since the millionth
Wikipedian
registered an account in February 2006.
24
Over 1,100,000 volunteer editors have edited Wikipedia more than 10 times.
25
Over 30,000 editors perform more than 5 edits per month, and over 3,000 perform more than 100 edits per month.
26
On 1 March 2014,
The Economist
, in an article titled "The Future of Wikipedia", cited a trend analysis concerning data published by the Wikimedia Foundation stating that "[t]he number of editors for the English-language version has fallen by a third in seven years."
27
The attrition rate for active editors in English Wikipedia was cited by
The Economist
as substantially in contrast to statistics for Wikipedia in other languages (non-English Wikipedia).
The Economist
reported that the number of contributors with an average of five or more edits per month was relatively constant since 2008 for Wikipedia in other languages at approximately 42,000 editors within narrow seasonal variances of about 2,000 editors up or down. The number of active editors in English Wikipedia, by "sharp" comparison, was cited as peaking in 2007 at approximately 50,000 and dropping to 30,000 by the start of 2014.
The trend analysis published in
The Economist
presents Wikipedia in other languages (non-English Wikipedia) as successful in retaining their active editors on a renewable and sustained basis, with their numbers remaining relatively constant at approximately 42,000.
27
The English Wikipedia has the
Arbitration Committee
(also known as ArbCom) that consists of a panel of editors that imposes binding rulings with regard to disputes between other editors of the online encyclopedia.
28
It was created by Jimmy Wales on 4 December 2003 as an extension of the decision-making power he had formerly held as owner of the site.
29
30
When it was founded, the committee consisted of 12
arbitrators
divided into three groups of four members each.
29
31
In 2022, for English Wikipedia, Americans accounted for about 40% of active editors, followed by British and Indian editors accounting for about 10% of each, and Canadian and Australian at about 5%.
32
Criticism
Two radically different versions of the Wikipedia biography Klee Irwin (now deleted)
33
presented to the public within days of each other: Wikipedia's susceptibility to edit wars and bias is an issue often raised by the project's critics.
The free online
encyclopedia
Wikipedia
has been criticized since its creation in 2001. Most of the criticism has been directed toward its content, community of
established volunteer users
, process, and rules. Critics have questioned its
factual reliability
, the readability and organization of its articles, the lack of methodical
fact-checking
, and its
political bias
Concerns have also been raised about
systemic
bias along
gender
racial
political
, corporate, institutional, and national lines. Conflicts of interest arising from corporate campaigns to influence content have also been highlighted. Further concerns include the vandalism and partisanship facilitated by anonymous editing,
clique
behavior (from contributors as well as
administrators
and other top figures),
social stratification
between a guardian class and newer users, excessive rule-making, edit warring, and uneven policy application.

English varieties
A notable discussion within the English Wikipedia community concerns the preference for
national variety
of the English language, particularly
American English
and
British English
34
Various suggestions have been made, ranging from standardizing a single form of English to creating separate versions of the English Wikipedia project.
35
According to a style guideline, "the English Wikipedia has no general preference for a major national variety of the language" and "an article on a topic that has strong ties to a particular English-speaking nation uses the appropriate variety of English for that nation."
36
Disputed articles
A 2013 study from
Oxford University
found that the most disputed articles on the English Wikipedia tend to address broader, global issues. In contrast, articles on other languages' Wikipedias often focus on regional issues. This pattern is attributed to the status of English as a global
lingua franca
, leading to contributions from many editors for whom
English is a second language
. The study identified the most disputed entries on the English Wikipedia as
George W. Bush
anarchism
Muhammad
list of WWE personnel
global warming
circumcision
United States
Jesus
race and intelligence
, and
Christianity
37
Research published in 2024 determined that several groups of connected accounts had coordinated to promote
Russian propaganda
narratives and
state-controlled media
sources in articles, related to
Russian-Ukrainian relations
and
Russia's war with Ukraine
38
Threats against high schools
There have been reports of threats of violence against high schools made on Wikipedia.
39
40
41
In 2006, a 14-year-old was arrested for making a threat against
Niles West High School
on Wikipedia.
42
In 2008,
Glen A. Wilson High School
was the subject of such a threat.

WikiProjects and assessment
Main article:
WikiProject
"Good articles" and "Featured articles on Wikipedia" redirect here. For the Wikipedia project pages, see
Wikipedia:Good articles
and
Wikipedia:Featured articles
A "
WikiProject
" is a
group
of contributors who want to work together as a team to improve Wikipedia. These groups may focus on a specific topic area (for example,
women's history
), a specific location or a specific kind of task (for example, checking newly created pages). As of August 2022, the English Wikipedia had over 2,000 WikiProjects, for which activity varied.
43
In 2007, in preparation for producing a print version, the English Wikipedia introduced an assessment scale of the quality of articles.
44
Articles are rated by WikiProjects. The range of quality classes begins with "Stub" (very short pages), followed by "Start", "C" and "B" (in increasing order of quality). Community peer review is needed for the article to enter one of the quality classes: either "good article", "A" or the highest, "featured article". Of the about 6.5 million articles and lists assessed as of April 2022, more than 6,000 (0.09%) are featured articles, and fewer than 4,000 (0.06%) are featured lists. One featured article per day, as selected by editors, appears on the
main page
of Wikipedia.
45
46
Researcher Giacomo Poderi found that articles tend to reach featured status via the intensive work of a few editors.
47
A 2010 study found unevenness in quality among featured articles and concluded that the community process is ineffective in assessing the quality of articles.
