Wikipedia is too complicated for many people to modify despite billing itself as “the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit”, its founder has said. Jimmy Wales told BBC News the site wants a new generation of contributors, including more women. The online encyclopedia, which is 10 years old on 15 January, is the world’s fifth most popular site. It aims to increase its users from 400m to 1bn by 2015. But growth requires a new interface, said Mr Wales. “We have to support our old power users because they build the site,” he said. “But we also need to have a ramp for new users.”
