Its coverage of controversial topics such as American politics and major events such as the COVID-19 pandemic has received substantial media attention. Its reliability was frequently criticized in the 2000s, but has improved over time and has been generally praised in the late 2010s and early 2020s. Wikipedia has received praise for its enablement of the democratization of knowledge, extent of coverage, unique structure, culture, and reduced amount of commercial bias, but criticism for exhibiting systemic bias, particularly gender bias against women and alleged ideological bias. In 2006, Time magazine stated that the policy of allowing anyone to edit had made Wikipedia the 'biggest (and perhaps best) encyclopedia in the world', and is 'a testament to the vision of one man, Jimmy Wales'. Its combined editions comprise more than 57 million articles, attracting around 2 billion unique device visits per month, and more than 17 million edits per month (1.9 edits per second). Initially available only in English, versions in other languages were quickly developed. Wikipedia was launched on January 15, 2001, by Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger Sanger coined its name as a blending of 'wiki' and 'encyclopedia'. It carries no advertisements and is hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation, an American non-profit organization funded mainly through small donations. A visitor spends an average time on Wikipedia of 3 minutes and 45 seconds each day.
