The Arabic Wikipedia is the edition of the free online encyclopedia written in Arabic, which is read from right to left and spoken by hundreds of millions of people. It was started in 2003, in the early expansion of the project into languages other than English. It is edited by volunteers and run by the Wikimedia Foundation. The edition has grown steadily over the years, and it is among the larger Wikipedias in non-European languages.
