It thought Wikipedia started in 2001. This means it has just past its fifth birthday and enters its sixth yaer! --Donar Reiskoffer 07:10, 17 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Indeed. That was a, um, slight miscalculation on my part... thanks to the people who pointed this out and fixed it; I apologize for any confusion. Thanks! Flcelloguy (A note? ) 01:02, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Not quite 1.8m articles.
I think "In August, we reached 700,000 articles, and on November 1, 800,000 articles." should be rephrased "In August, we reached 700,000 articles, and on the first day of November 800,000 articles." This would prevent the 1.8m double take, and keep the middle and little endians happy. We'll just have to bear the commas. -- Jeandré, 2006-01-17t19:31z


 * Thanks for the suggestion. I've reworded the sentence. Flcelloguy (A note? ) 01:04, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
