Wikipedia is a free, open-source, editable online encyclopaedia that millions of people use as a starting point for basic knowledge. Because Wikipedia had not complied with orders to remove content that was problematic from the website, the PTA had on Wednesday downgraded Wikipedia services across the nation.
