- Robust Impact: With 250,000 contributors making 324 edits per minute, Wikipedia boasts over 65 million articles accessed by 1.5 billion unique devices monthly.
- Sustainable Ecosystem: The Enterprise program supports Wikimedia’s work while ensuring that fees from for-profits contribute back into the movement.
