This page contains a lot of links to historical info about Wikipedia, his sister projects (Wiktionary, Wikibooks, Wikisource, Wikiquote, Wikiversity, Wikinews, Wikispecies, Commons, Meta) and her predecessors (Nupedia).

Wikipedia pages can be edited by everyone, and the histories are saved and publicly available, but usually is hard to find very old things. I hope you enjoy this page. Nostalgia time!
