Indeed, the purpose of an encyclopedia is to COLLECT KNOWLEDGE disseminated around the globe; TO SET
forth its GENERAL SYSTEM to the men with whom we live, and TRANSMIT IT to
those who will come after us [1]
Denis Diderot [3]
Larry Sanger [2]
Our goal with Wikipedia is to create a FREE
ENCYCLOPEDIA; indeed, the LARGEST encyclopedia in history, both in terms of breadth and in terms of
depth. We also want Wikipedia to be a RELIABLE
