Traces the origins of the [Wikipedia] platform as well as its rapid ascent among internet users, as well as the history of knowledge collections. Wikipedia began with a promise: knowledge production, which was in the hands of elites for millenia, is to be radically democratized. The film also addresses the problems associated with Wikipedia's place as an academic resource, as younger generations have grown up viewing the website as credible source of citable information. --vendor website
