Today Wikipedia celebrates 10 years online. Let's wish Wikipedia and all its editors a happy anniversary.
One of the most interesting things I learned in the media coverage building up to the event was about who Wikipedia's editors are. An NPR story about Wikipedia and its founder Jimmy Wales described the demographics of Wikipedia's editors.
"The average age is around 26," Wales says. "We're about 85 percent male, which is something we'd like to change in the future. We think that's because of our tech-geek roots."
