Please avoid including article-count milestones other than 100, 500, 1k, 2k, 5k, 10k, 15k, 20k, and 10k increments up to 100k and multiples of 25k. Try mixing things up with other milestones (active users, new articles/day).

Christmas 2004

  • The Frisian Wikipedia was once again found to be victim of a gamma test installation.

December 23, 2004

  • Hard work started at the Croatian Wiktionary. So far it has reached more than 100 pages, mostly Hungarian translations. --Dubaduba 19:21, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)

December 22, 2004

  • Galician wiktionary has reached 10,000 articles due to work by Rabalde. We have only two users so this is an important date for us.

December 20, 2004

  • Japanese Wikipedia has reached 90,000 articles. The milestone article is about ja:ガヤトリ・スピヴァク（Gayatri Spivak), an India born critic. Now Japanese Wikipedia has around 200 new articles per day, over 15,000 registered users. Over 100 users are very active but 40%-50% of edits are done by anonymous users. There are 26 administrators and some users are requesting now for adminships after a long discussion and a vote for improvement of adminship request rules in this fall.

  • The Latvian Wikipedia has reached 500 articles. The 500th article is about Galaktika, by PeterisP.
  • All Wiktionaries became unaccessible because its domain name was expired. The problem was solved on December 17 and Wiktionary regained its connectivity.

December 12, 2004

  • The Romanian Wikipedia has reached 10,000 articles! The 10,000th article is Opera poetică a lui Mihai Eminescu, about the works of the great Romanian poet Mihai Eminescu. The creator of this article was Moby Dick. Ro.wiki reached 10,000 articles exactly one month after reaching 9,000 articles! A big thank you to all the contributors on the Romanian Wikipedia - without you we couldn't have done it!
  • A completely rewritten spam filter has been incorporated into MediaWiki, which blocks URLs containing certain domains and words. The new filter comes with a greatly expanded blacklist, derived from the publically available Wikiblacklist. Because of the wide range of entries in the list, there have been a few false positives reported (including the blocking of all links to .com.cn). Any meta sysop can edit the spam blacklist to remove the links that are triggering the filter, with the changes taking effect immediately, so if you are an administrator be prepared for such requests. New links can also be added to the list if a new spammer should start making the rounds.

December 10, 2004

  • German wikibooks reached 1000 chapters (in 124 books).

Another meetup in Tokyo is planned now. Further information on meetups is avaliable on ja:Wikipedia:ウィキペディアン・オフラインミーティング.
