Although it's legally American i.e. the non profit that runs it is based there, it's a global project.

One can go to other language versions of the Wikipedia as well and the info is different. The pages aren't just translations from English.

I'll check out different countries' pages sometimes to see different culture references or to see what names are in other languages. Very useful.

en.wikipedia

de.wikipedia (translated)
