Welcome to everyone in this community, made up of over 5000 accounts of people who are united by a love of Wikipedia, the greatest website ever created!

You can read the wiki article about the number 5000.

Other interesting ones to me include the 5000 metres running event, the US 5000 dollar bill , or the article about the 5th millennium BC.

Or just keep doing what you were already doing, and loving Wikipedia!

Is there a site that comes close to how used and influential Wikipedia is?

[-] birdwing@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 2 months ago

Many, but as positively beneficial for humanity?

Github (or Codeberg if you will)

Hopefully in a future, AnarWiki as well...
