Wikipedia is a project to build free encyclopedias in all languages of the world based on a neutral point of view. Note: the name "Wikipedia" is often confused with several other, similar, names; please see the glossary for an explanation of these. The project started with the English-language Wikipedia on January 15, 2001. It was soon joined by a French edition, and shortly afterwards by many other languages. Large efforts are underway to highlight the international nature of the project. On 20 September 2004 Wikipedia reached a total of 1,000,000 articles in over 100 languages. While the English Wikipedia is still the largest with more than 800,000 articles, there are well over 700,000 articles in 190 other languages, some quite large, and others just starting, with one or two articles. As of May 2005, there are 96 Wikipedias which have more than 100 articles, 25 of which have over 10,000 articles, and eight of which have over 50,000 articles. Following the English language Wikipedia, the German, French, and Japanese editions have over 100,000 articles each. Wikipedias with a conservative article count above 100,000 as per January 03, 2006 No. Source Consv. Inclus. Started Wiki hosts (last one is current) 1.

As of 30 December 2004, 36,377 registered users had made at least five edits since the start of the project, though it is unknown how many of users registered on several projects at once. Almost 18% of all edits are submitted anonymously from users without accounts. Statistics suggest that anonymous viewers make up one fourth of total readership. As of March 2005, roughly half a million registered user accounts have been created in total. Some Wikipedia have a plan of snapshop release. In October 2004, German Wikipedia CD which had 131,976 articles and almost 1,200 images was released in collaboration with Directmedia Publishing and DVD release is on-going, which will be released at the middle of March, 2005 at Leipzig Book Fair. Those stable versions are extracts from Wikipedia and reviewed carefully before publification. French Wikipedia has a similar plan in collaboration with Mandriva (ex Mandrakesoft). In 2004 Wikipedia won the Webby Award for "Community" and the Prix Ars Electronica for "Digital Community".
