To mark Wikipedia’s 10th anniversary in January 2011, William Beutler executive produced and wrote the script for “The State of Wikipedia”, a short web video by the creative agency JESS3, narrated by Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales. The video explored aspects of the online encyclopedia from the number of articles, to the religion of its editors (more Pastafarians than you’d think!) and how it came to be in the first place. As of early 2012, “The State of Wikipedia” has more than 140,000 views on YouTube.
