1. summary

 In this lesson, I learned about Wikipedia. Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia collaboratively edited by volunteers worldwide. It was launched in 2001 and is managed by the Wikimedia Foundation. Its content covers knowledge across various fields, aiming to provide free, comprehensive, and neutral reference materials.
