Declare Wikipedia a National Treasure for its unparalleled accomplishment in preserving and making knowledge accessible.

The facts speak for themselves. Over 4 million articles contributed by volunteers, over 10 billion page views per day by the people of the world, and translated into 285 languages. Wikipedia is a Wonder of the World created entirely by volunteers. But it is not like the other Wonders of history, which can only inspire us by the fact of their creation by humans in the past. Instead, Wikipedia is an living Wonder. Every day, all of the contributed knowledge is made freely available to anyone with the tools to access it. Everyone is empowered to use any or all of that knowledge to achieve as much as they can. Because it embodies an unprecedented and unparelleled power to promote human achievement, Wikipedia should be formally recognized as a National Treasure of the United States of America.
