Wikipedia Hits Million-Entry Mark
Sir Homer writes "The Wikimedia Foundation announced today the creation of the one millionth article in Wikipedia. Started in January 2001, Wikipedia is currently both the world's largest encyclopedia and 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. Wikipedia now ranks as one of the ten most popular reference sites on the Internet, according to Alexa.com. It is increasingly used as a resource by students, journalists, and anyone who needs a starting point for research. Wikipedia's rate of growth has continued to increase in recent months, and at its current pace Wikipedia will double in size again by next spring." stevejobsjr writes "Wikipedia needs our help. The Wikipedia project has no ads, and is run completely by volunteers. Still, it takes money to run such an amazing resource, and so they are running a fundraiser. The goal is to raise $50,000."
Wow, you Japanese politicians have too much time on your hands I see. Why don't you entertain yourselves with war on terrorism or organize some more elections? :-)
En per aliquot annos fui contributor apud Wikipediam, at minimam habui satisfactionem, quia saepe scribunt ad hominem contra me -- scilicet: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Artificial_intel ligence#Mentifex_article. Quare tristis incedo, dum affligit me inimicus?
Quid? Mea theoria mentis non satis est bona?
Sumne ego scientista vesanus?
Artificialis Intellectus Pro Te non est bonus liber de Singularitate?
Nonne valet aut recipitur amicabiliter apud eos independens scholasticus?
Nunc omnibus vobis volo unam rem dicere: satis habui de vestra stupidissima Wikipedia. Satis habui de vestro bello contra Arabiam. Cari Americani, vester Cocainista-in-Capite est inimicus et destructor humani generis. Si ille malefactor eligitur Praesidens in Novembre, me capiet suicidium.
Off topic, but I can only get 2 colleges to come up on the site listed in your sig. Is it new?
