This dossier has been prepared with the purpose of demonstrating and establishing
conclusively how Wikipedia is not a free, editorial intervention free encyclopaedia which
relies on the voluntary work of thousands of unpaid, passionate volunteers across the globe,
as claimed by the Wikimedia Foundation.
This dossier is made with a special focus on India, Indian laws and India related content for
the purpose of formulating recommendations about treating Wikipedia as a publisher, which
is directly liable for the content published on its platform.
The dossier delves briefly into various aspects of Wikipedia and its parent company – the
Wikimedia Foundation in order to understand the various claims made by the Wikimedia
Foundation about Wikipedia being a free-for-all-to-edit encyclopaedia, using reliable
sources, maintaining a neutral point of view, surviving on donations etc.
It also delves into the grants that Wikimedia Foundation gets, the entities it gets the grants
from and the entities and NGOs it gives grants to. Further, it aims to understand how
Wikimedia Foundation, without maintaining its presence in India, is functioning in India and
funding various entities for its business goals.
