Look something up on Wikipedia with Siri

Quick answer

"Search Wikipedia for [topic]" and Siri pulls up the Wikipedia entry, often reading a short summary and showing the article to open. Good for quick facts about a place, person, or thing. Ask a plain "who is" or "what is" question and Siri often surfaces the same source.

Say this

“Search Wikipedia for the Eiffel Tower”

If Siri doesn't get it

Results need an internet connection. If Siri can't find an entry, rephrase the topic or ask a direct "what is" question instead.
