The monument depicts four nude figures holding aloft a globe based on the Wikipedia logo,[5] reaching over two metres (6 ft 7 in) up.

The benefactors behind this monument feel certain that with Wikipedia as one of its pillars the knowledge society will be able to contribute to the sustainable development of our civilization, social justice and peace among nations.

[10]The monument was suggested around 2010[9] by Krzysztof Wojciechowski [pl], a university professor and director of the Collegium Polonicum in Słubice.

It is a truly special and exciting day, and one that I hope shines the spotlight on the thousands of Wikimedians who edit Wikipedia and make it the source of free knowledge it has come to be.
