Monument to Wiki

Wikipedia the now famous online encyclopedia which allows anyone to contribute is finally getting a well deserved accolade. University professor Krzysztof Wojciechowski, director of the Collegium Polonicum in Slubice, Poland  says the western Polish town is taking up his suggestion and will put up a monument to honor the authors of Wikipedia.

He went on to say that he is in awe of the huge and reliable job done by Wikipedia, which is vastly popular in Poland. More than one million entries in Wikipedia are in Polish, rivaling the number in French or Spanish.

The fiber and resin statue costing about $12,000 is funded by Slubice authorities and will be unveiled on October 22, 2014.
