'''[[:Category:Wikimedia chapters|Wikimedia chapters]]''' are legally independent [[:Category:Non-profit|non-profit]] [[:Category:Organization|organizations]] founded to support and promote the {{tag|Wikimedia Foundation}} (WMF) {{WMF.org|Our projects|projects}} within a specified geographical [[:Category:Region|region]]; such as a [[:Category:Country|country]]<ref>[https://beta.CompaniesHouse.gov.uk/company/06741827 Wikimedia UK - overview, Company number: 06741827]; ''beta.CompaniesHouse.gov.uk''; Cardiff, [[:Category:United Kingdom|UK]]; Companies House; accessed: 26 June 2021.</ref> or [[:Category:State|state]].  Like the [[Wikimedia Foundation]], they aim to "empower and engage [[:Category:People|people]] around the [[:Category:Earth|world]] to collect and develop [[:Category:Education|educational]] content under a free [[:Category:Wiki license|license]] or in the [[:Category:Public domain|public domain]], and to disseminate it effectively and [[:Category:Global|globally]]".
As of June 2023, there are 38 chapters<ref>{{WMF-Meta|Wikimedia chapters#Existing chapters|Wikimedia chapters - Existing chapters}}; ''Meta.Wikimedia.org''; [[Wikimedia Meta-Wiki]]; accessed: 12 June 2023.</ref> which currently exist (up from the 37 in existence at October 2018), with at least one chapter on every [[:Category:Continent|continent]] of the world (except [[:Category:Antarctica|Antarctica]]).  Existing chapters sign an agreement, known as {{WMF-Meta|chapter agreements}} with the Wikimedia Foundation.  Individual chapters can seek help from fellow chapters via the {{WMF-Meta|Wikimedia Chapters Association}} (WCA).  New chapters are created via the [[Wikimedia Affiliations Committee]] ('AffCom', previously known as Wikimedia Chapters Committee, or 'ChapCom').

'''[[:Category:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]]''' – ''The Free Encyclopedia'' – is "the free wiki [[:Category:Encyclopedia|encyclopedia]] that [[:Category:OpenEdit|anyone can edit]]".  Brainchild of [[Jimmy Wales]] (and others); and the original project of the subsequent [[:Category:Wikimedia Foundation|Wikimedia Foundation]] (WMF), Wikipedia <s>strives</s> ''claims'' to have an officially '[[wp:Wikipedia:Neutral point of view|neutral point of view]]' ([[:Category:NPOV|NPOV]]); but is often [[wp:Wikipedia:Conflict of interest|accused]] by [[:Category:People|people]] on each side of the political or other spectrums of being [[:Category:PointOfView|biased]] towards the other side.  Wikipedia is the biggest fish in the global [[:Category:Wiki|wiki]] pond, and receives far more traffic, ''and'' [[:Category:Wiki Edit Mode|editing]] activity, than any other [[WhatIsWiki|wiki]].  However, despite Wikipedias' claim to being an 'encyclopedia'; many [[:Category:Education|academic]] institutes and other [[:Category:Professions|professional]] organisations recommend that Wikipedia is <u>not</u> used as a primary source of information, due to the fact that many articles are frequently incorrect, and many articles have a seemingly extremely low threshold of '[[wp:Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources|reliable source]]' references and [[wp:Wikipedia:Citing sources|citations]]!  Indeed, many Wikipedia articles fail their own [[wp:Wikipedia:Verifiability|verifiability]] criteria, and can remain for many years without any citations, dispite warning banners highlighting the lack of said citations (and threatening to delete said unreferenced articles), and this even includes biographical articles for [[wp:Category:Living people|living people]] . . . and the [[English Wikipedia]] allows articles to be 'promoted' to a [[wp:Wikipedia:Good articles|good article]] (GA) status despite failing their own [[wp:Wikipedia:Good article criteria|criteria]] on having adequate reliable source citations, editorial conjecture, and even [[wp:Wikipedia:No original research|original research]]!

Historically, when Wikipedia was founded, it released all textual [[wiki]] content under the [[:Category:Wiki GNU Free Documentation License|GNU Free Documentation License]] (GFDL).  However, during 2009, existing Wikipedia wikis migrated to a new [[:Category:Wiki License|license]] – the [[:Category:Wiki Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike|Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 unported license]] (CC-BY-SA 3.0); and all content published until that migration date could be retro-released under either or [[:Category:Wiki MultiLicense|both licenses]].  All content published ''after'' the migration date is released under only the CC-BY-SA 3.0 license, as are any newly created Wikipedia language versions.
