Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia sites are
We call them Wikimedia projects.
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_projects
At the beginning I'd rather place something more general and definite, à
la «Wikimedia projects have Open Access as a prerequisite for an
environment in which they can flourish. Acknowledging this, Wikimedia
has been part of the Open Access movement since 2009 or earlier, raising
public awareness and intensifying cooperation with others in the OA
movement» (OA experts? OA professionals? other OA promoters?).
And the link for this paragraph will be
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Open_access
The content is enriched by citations to open access
scholarship [...] write Wikipedia articles
and enrich them with citations.
Duplicate. Should also use a term more generic than "citations":
Wikimedia Commons, Wikisource and Wikidata have material from Open
Access sources. Wikibooks and Wikiversity too, probably, or could. Etc.
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_sources>Citations are
particularly important to allow readers to verify Wikipedia articles and
learn more about the topic from the underlying sources. Given the
importance of open access to Wikipedia, the Wikimedia community of
contributors has set up
<https://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/01/15/wikimedia-and-open-access/>a
WikiProject Open Access
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Open_Access>to
improve open access-related articles on Wikipedia and create an Open
Access Policy
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Committee/Areas_of_interest/Open-access_policy>for
research projects with the support
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Committee/Areas_of_interest/Significant_support>of
the Wikimedia Foundation.
See comments by Daniel for the specifics.
Should we also mention any Open Access week event being organised by
Wikimedia across the world?
