Viquipèdia:Notes de premsa/Vint mil articles en català/en: diferència entre les revisions

The ''Viquipèdia'' (Wikipedia in Catalan) was born in March [[2001]], and was the second version to be created after the original English wikipedia. Since then, it has established its place amongst the twenty largest Wikipedia languages in terms of total number of articles. On [[16 de novembre|November 16th]] [[2004]], it reached the 10,000 entries milestone and, in a year, the ''Viquipèdia'' has doubled its number of articles, reaching the current figure of 20,000. Not only that; the overall quality of the articles has also increased (the medium size of entries and the number of times they have been edited have also increased). The Main Page has been redesigned, its Tavern has a new look, several ''Viquiprojectes'' (WikiProjects) to improve certain areas of knowledge have been installed, a ««this fortnight contribution»» tag has been launched, etc. However, there is still much to do: ''Viquiportals'' will be released as a new way to understand the world of ''Viquipèdia''; newer ''Viquiprojectes'' and entries will be created that will help in making Wikipedia in Catalan one of the greatest reference resource of knowledge in this language.

All this has been possible through the noticeable increase of contributors this year: in the last months the "Viquipèdia" has had an average of 314 wikipedians contributing actively, but many more are still needed! Many ««important»» entries remain yet to be done, and many of those that already exist are far from reaching the required standards of quality. However, ''Viquipèdia'' is already a useful encyclopedia that can be used in many ways at home, at schools or at work.
