Wikipedia Hits a Milestone
That’s 1,000,000 articles in one encyclopedia
After the arrival of Wikipedia for the iPod, a compact disc, or a memory stick, comes yet another important milstone:
The Wikimedia Foundation announced today the creation of the 1,000,000th article in the English language edition of Wikipedia. The article is about the Jordanhill railway station in Scotland, and it was started by Wikipedia contributor Ewan Macdonald. Wikipedia is a free, multilingual, online encyclopedia with 3.3 million articles under development in more than 125 languages.
