Today #Wikipedia turns 25 years. Let's appreciate this monumental project of open knowledge and international collaboration!

Without open knowledge, data and transparency we cannot see uncomfortable facts and where humanity need to act.

I wanted to see if there are any countries at all with a median age below 25. Turns out, there aren't just a few.

A map of the world where many countries are coloured in grey and some are in orange-red colouring. The coloured countries mostly lie in Africa and Central America.

The title reads: Populations younger than Wikipedia
The subtitle reads: Today, Wikpedia turns 25 years. In some countries the median age is below 25 years.  This means that in these countries at least half of the population is younger than Wikipedia. The darker the color, the lower the median age, down to an alarming 14.6 in Central African Republic. Nations in grey have a median age above 25.
