Clocking in at 52 million words today, Hebrew Wikipedia announced they’ve reached 100,000 articles. At 16:54 UTC, user: Brookli submitted an article about Seaton Delaval Hall, a 16th century English country home. The largest encyclopedia written in the Hebrew language got its start six and half years ago, July 9, 2003, with an article on Mathematics by user: Rotem Dan.
Hebrew Wikipedia is among the top 30 language Wikipedias of 270 languages worldwide. To commemorate the event, on Friday, January 15th, the community will hold a meeting in Israel at Tel Aviv University where 100 Wikipedia contributors will discuss the state of Wikipedia today and in the future. This event will be streamed live beginning at 07:30 UTC on Friday: http://www.livestream.com/wikipediaisrael.
Congratulations to all of those who helped Hebrew Wikipedia reach such an important milestone.
Mazal Tov!
