Despite the blunders, Wikipedia still remains a hugely popular source of information for people around the world. According to Pew, the site's articles have been viewed a total of 1.9 trillion times in the past decade, or about 508 million views per day on average.
Wikipedia’s article on President Donald Trump is the most-viewed English-language page, with around 300 million views over the last decade. The site's Wikipedia: Popular Pages reveals that Trump became the first person ever to reach 200 million views, and his was the overall second most popular page only after the United States' one.
"On January 20, 2021, the day he left office and refused to attend Biden's inauguration, he surpassed the United States for the all-time lead among the ranked pages in what we know as the first change of the leading page," reads Wikipedia.
"The 2021 storming of the United States Capitol gave him the decisive push," it adds. "By notable contrast, his predecessor Barack Obama did not reach the U.S. during his two terms. Joe Biden debuted on the list on November 12, 2020."
May Wikipedia continue to grow, giving us valuable information while providing some unexpected laughs and secondhand embarrassment as well.
