Is Wikipedia the best site on the web?

This was the title of a column that I wrote eight years ago. At the time, Wikipedia had 8 million articles in more than 250 languages.

The amazing site is 15 years old this week and now has over 38 million articles, over 5 million articles in English alone. I use it all the time as a starting point for many inquiries and I contribute small sums to its funding.
