"In its 10 years of existence, Wikipedia, the global online encyclopedia, has 
amassed an archive of 18 million entries in 279 languages. It is one of the 10 
most popular Web sites on the Internet.

But is the volunteer-driven data depository an endangered world cultural 
treasure worthy of protection, like French cuisine, the Argentine tango or the 
Grand Canyon?

That is the long-shot bet being made by Wikipedia, which plans to begin a 
global petition drive Tuesday to earn a spot on one of the world heritage lists 
of the U.N. Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization."
