Wikimedia Commons breaks 5,000,000 files
,----[ Quote ]
| Hot on the heels of the recent milestone of 3,000,000 articles on English
| Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons has just lodged its own major milestone: passing
| the 5,000,000 binary mark. Wikimedia Commons is the vast image, video,
| sound, illustration (and more) repository of works that can be freely reused
| by anyone, and perhaps most notably to users is the space where all of
| Wikipediaâs images are stored. Few would dispute that Wikimedia Commons is
| the largest single collection of freely reusable images on the internet.

| the contributions of volunteers, all with the power to edit, and presumably
| improve, the content.
