{{Quote|“Ask him to point to where he thinks the monkey is going to go.”
“[[Pirahã people|They]] don’t point,” [[Daniel Everett|Everett]] said. Nor, he added, do they have words for [[Relative direction#Left-right confusion|right and left]]. Instead, they give directions in absolute terms, telling others to head “upriver” or “downriver,” or “to the forest” or “away from the forest.” Everett told the man to say whether the monkey was going upriver or downriver. The man said something in reply.
“What did he say?” [[Tecumseh Fitch|Fitch]] asked.
“He said, ‘Monkeys go to the jungle.’ ”|[[John Colapinto]]|''[http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2007/04/16/070416fa_fact_colapinto The Interpreter - Has a remote Amazonian tribe upended our understanding of language?]'', The New Yorker, April 16, 2007}}

== History ==
[[Internet entrepreneur]] Jimmy Wales and online community organizer/[[philosophy]] professor [[Larry Sanger]] founded Wikipedia in 2001 as an Internet encyclopedia to supplement [[Nupedia]]. The project was originally funded by [[Bomis]], Jimmy Wales's for-profit business. Since Wikipedia was depleting Bomis's resources, Wales and Sanger thought of a charity model to fund the project.<ref name="Rupert Neate" /> The Wikimedia Foundation was incorporated in Florida on June 20, 2003.<ref name="Announcing Wikimedia Foundation">{{cite web|first=Jimmy|last=Wales|author-link=Jimmy Wales|url=http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikipedia-l/2003-June/010743.html|title=Announcing Wikimedia Foundation|date=June 20, 2003|publisher=[[mail:wikipedia-l]]|access-date=November 26, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130330033331/http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikipedia-l/2003-June/010743.html|archive-date=March 30, 2013|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>Florida Department of State, Division of Corporations.  [http://search.sunbiz.org/Inquiry/CorporationSearch/SearchResultDetail?inquirytype=EntityName&directionType=Initial&searchNameOrder=WIKIMEDIAFOUNDATION%20N030000053230&aggregateId=domnp-n03000005323-6dc7ff3a-b7ba-4c97-9b9e-4545cef1ca0a&searchTerm=Wikimedia&listNameOrder=WIKIMEDIAFOUNDATION%20N030000053230 Wikimedia Foundation, Inc Record] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160618194844/http://search.sunbiz.org/Inquiry/CorporationSearch/SearchResultDetail?inquirytype=EntityName&directionType=Initial&searchNameOrder=WIKIMEDIAFOUNDATION%20N030000053230&aggregateId=domnp-n03000005323-6dc7ff3a-b7ba-4c97-9b9e-4545cef1ca0a&searchTerm=Wikimedia&listNameOrder=WIKIMEDIAFOUNDATION%20N030000053230 |date=June 18, 2016 }} and  [http://search.sunbiz.org/Inquiry/CorporationSearch/ConvertTiffToPDF?storagePath=COR1%5C2003%5C0620%5C90039369.tif&documentNumber=N03000005323 Letters of Incorporation, Wikimedia Foundation] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160618163144/http://search.sunbiz.org/Inquiry/CorporationSearch/ConvertTiffToPDF?storagePath=COR1%5C2003%5C0620%5C90039369.tif&documentNumber=N03000005323 |date=June 18, 2016 }}, filed June 20, 2003</ref>  It applied to the [[United States Patent and Trademark Office]] to trademark ''Wikipedia'' on September 14, 2004.

The name "Wikimedia", a [[Compound (linguistics)|compound]] of [[wiki]] and [[media (communication)|media]], was coined by American author [[Sheldon Rampton]] in a post to the English mailing list in March 2003,<ref>{{cite web | url = http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/wikien-l/2003-March/001887.html | title = Wikipedia English mailing list message | date = March 16, 2003 | first = Sheldon | last = Rampton | author-link = Sheldon Rampton | access-date = July 11, 2005 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20051101074301/http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/wikien-l/2003-March/001887.html | archive-date = November 1, 2005 | url-status = live }}</ref> three months after [[Wiktionary]] became the second wiki-based project hosted on Wales' platform.
In April 2005, the U.S. [[Internal Revenue Service]] approved the foundation as an educational foundation in the category "[[Adult education|Adult]], [[Continuing education]]", meaning all contributions to the foundation are [[Tax deduction|tax-deductible]] for U.S. federal income tax purposes.{{Citation needed|date=December 2021}}
On December 11, 2006, the foundation's board noted that the corporation could not become the [[membership organization]] initially planned but never implemented due to an inability to meet the registration requirements of Florida statutory law. Accordingly, the by-laws were amended to remove all references to membership rights and activities. The decision to change the bylaws was passed by the board unanimously.<ref>[[wmf:Resolution:Bylaws revision|Bylaws revision]].</ref><ref name="Announcing Wikimedia Foundation" />
On September 25, 2007, the foundation's board gave notice that the operations would be moving to the [[San Francisco Bay Area]].
