Wikipedia publishes 10 millionth article

Wikipedia — the free, multilingual open-source encyclopaedia anyone can contribute to — has just published its 10th million article.


WikipediaWikipedia — the free, multilingual open-source encyclopaedia anyone can contribute to — has just published its 10th million article.

Not bad for a site that debuted just over 7 years ago. Now they publish in more than 250 languages. Wow.

If you’re interested, the milestone article is a biography of a 16th century Hungarian painter, Nicholas Hilliard. The English version can be read here.

Do you trust Wikipedia? Contribute to it?

    Shouldn't that be "10 millionth", not "10th million" ??

    John,

    You may be right. Math isn't my strong suit. I changed it, thanks, because even if it's not right, it sounds like it is!

    Thanks,

    Marc

    Yeah, it's millionth. *clap* Heh, yeah, I trust Wiki. There are several micro-wiki's to trust even more though. Like Microbewiki, if you need the biology help. University+ contributors only. (I'll assume they check by verifiable university emails. *shrug*) I don't contribute, though I suppose I could. Things are kind of hectic at the moment, though. (I spent six hours on a project involving bacteria last night. After six the previous sunday to do a short story for english. Need. Sleep. XD)
