It was jointly created by Larry Sanger and Jimmy Wales and is currently one of the most popular online sources of information.Wikipedia is a free online source that users volunteer their time and energy to write and edit entries for, with entries ranging from the biography of Netanyahu to ancient Roman history to Yiddish entries.In 2018Haaretz claimed that, unlike other countries where volunteers have a policy of debating and agreeing on how to write sensitive entries by creating a large majority, Israeli users created a policy in which only users who edited over 100 entries can vote on entries.“While in English Wikipedia decisions are made by debating,” a user said, “in the Hebrew Wikipedia, they are made by voting, and as we know, the majority is not always right.”
