Polish town builds a statue in honor of Wikipedia

 Tomasz Ciszewicz, the mayor of the smallest university town in Poland – Słubice, boarder town to Germany– decided to pay homage to the Wikipedia editors by creating a monument. The founding father of the idea is dr Krzysztof Wojciechowski, the director of Collegium Polonicum. 

The statue features Wikipedia's logo held up by four people. It won't be unveiled until October 22nd. It cost the town €12,000 to build the statue.
