Wikipedia holidays, or the Order of the Day, consist of Wikipedia's founding day of January 15 and four Wikipedia awards bestowed honoris causa by Jimmy "Jimbo" Wales, the site's 2001 co-founder. With the motto "We make the Internet not suck" derived from a 2005 interview with Wales, four of the five holidays celebrate specific developers and editors and their exceptional service to the community.
