| Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and the community of people who build it: It combines many features of general and specialized encyclopedias, almanacs, and gazetteers.

It is not a dictionary, a newspaper, or a collection of source documents, although some of its fellow Wikimedia projects are. —Wikipedia:Five pillars |
