German Wikipedia Passes One Million Article Mark

Posted by timothy on from the but-now-they-use-euros dept.

saibot834 writes "The German Wikipedia, the second largest language edition behind the English Wikipedia, just reached its 1,000,000 article milestone. Combined with 3.1M English articles and 240 other language editions, this adds up to a total of 14 million Wikipedia articles. Interestingly, there is a request for deletion on the millionth article. German Wikipedia has been criticized for its rules on notability, which are stricter than on the English Wikipedia. Quality though, is often considered to be higher on the German Wikipedia."

    It's so hard to talk about these things. Nothing actually happened.

    P.S.: Would you believe any shit out there, as soon as someone finds someone else stating it to be true? Wikipedia does. And that’s why I will never ever trust Wikipedia for anything.
