This is the very model of a Web encyclopedia,
It's got a zillion topics by the grace of Wikimedia,
It lists the kings of England, and it notes the fights historical,
From Marathon to Karbala, in order categorical;
It's thoroughly inclusive, too, of topics mathematical,
It talks about equations, both the simple and quadratical,

The quantity of knowledge here is often inspirational!
In short, its zillion pages by the grace of Wikimedia

We sometimes have some trouble with rude vandals who'll confuseya
(Although they're much less cruel than the ones from Vandalusia)
When such reverts and edit wars cause stress for Wikipedians,
Administrators try to make it better with expedience
So editors can concentrate on cleaning featured articles
And clarifying facts about rare subatomic particles
Because providing information free on public media's
The overriding purpose of a web encyclopedia.

Yes, all our gathered knowledge, though we're plucky and adventury,
Has only been collected since beginning of the century;

Make it the very model of a web encyclopedia!
