Wikipedia breaks 10^6 articles

Cory Doctorow 12:30 am Mon Sep 20, 2004

The free/open Wikipedia encyclopedia project just posted its 1,000,000th article.

The Wikimedia Foundation announced today the creation of the one millionth article in Wikipedia, its project to create a free, open-content, online encyclopedia (Wikipedia.org (http://en.wikipedia.org)). Started in January 2001, Wikipedia is currently both the world's largest encyclopedia and its fastest-growing, with articles under active development in over 100 languages. Nearly 2,500 new articles are added to Wikipedia each day, along with ten times that number of updates to existing articles.
