Wikipedia Reaches 100,000th Article

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the cdrom-size-archives-would-be-nice dept.

An anonymous reader writes "'Wikipedia, a community-built multilingual encyclopedia, is announcing that the English edition of the project has reached a milestone of 100,000 articles in development. In addition, the project itself has celebrated its two-year anniversary on January 15. But not just the English version has grown impressively: More than 37,000 articles are now being worked on in the non-English editions of Wikipedia.' Read the press release for more information or visit the website to enlighten yourself! It's great to see that this interactive project works; at least I don't have to boot into Windows to use Encarta anymore!"

    I've given this some serious thought, and in tune with the subject matter pertaining to many articles that have been posted on Slashdot in recent weeks, I've come to the following conclusion about the contents of this (and other related) submitted articles:

    I don't give a shit.

    I'd really like to hear some other opinions on this. I mean, who gives a flying turd as to how many hits Joe Blow's site has registered. This is worthless information and a waste of bandwidth.

    Anyone that agrees (or not), please feel free to respond.

    Sincerely,

    The Undersigned

    Look at the bright side. It could also have been an adult nigger who came up with the bogus word.

    Kwanzaa. African-American. Wiki. Yup, sounds plausible.
