The Wikipedia project is really international and multilingual: there are more than 110 editions in different languages which work autonomously. Globally, they contain nearly 2'5 millions articles.
The Viquipèdia (in Catalan) was born onin March [[2001]] and was the second version to see the light of day after the Wikipèdia in English. In allDuring this time it has been consolidated inits a number of editionsplace among the twenty greaterlargest Wikipedia languages with regard to the number of articles. On [[1816 de novembre|16 November 16]], [[2004]] it reached the 10.000 entries milestone, withand which, inwithin a year, the Viquipèdia in Catalan has doubled the number of articles, attainingreaching the current figure of 20.000. Not only this; in general the quality of the editionsarticles has also increased (for example, the medium size of the entries and the number of times they have been edited), the Main Page has been reworked, our Tavern has a new look, a bunch of "viquiprojectes" to improve certain areas of knowledge have been settledinstalled, the "fortnight entry" has been turned onlaunched, etc. But there is still a lot to do: we will turn onlaunch the viquiportals, new ways to understand the world of the Viquipèdia, we will create new viquiprojectes and new entries that will help one of the great references of wisdom for us to acting as this Viquipèdia in our language. <!-- "that will help one of the great references of wisdom for us to acting as this Viquipèdia in our language.": this is malformed English, I cannot understand what it is supposed to mean. -->
All this has been possible thanks to the remarkable increase of collaborators who have been this year. In the last months we have had, on average, 314 wiquipedists contributing actively. But they size up many more! <!-- (What is this suposed to mean?) --> Many "important" entries still remain to dobe done, and many of those that at present stillalready exist are far from the standard of quality that we would like. However, the viquipèdia is already a useful encyclopedia, that can be used in an individual or collective way at home, at schools or in the job.
Everybody can collaboratecontribute in theto Viquipèdia. Any person with a connection into the Internet can create new entries, or edit those that already exist.
