In a press release, The Wikimedia foundation announces the publication of the one millionth article in its free, open-content, online encyclopedia.

“Wikipedia is created entirely by volunteers who contribute, update, and revise articles in a collaborative process…. Contributors build upon each other’s changes and flawed edits are quickly repaired. ‘Everything is peer-reviewed in real time,’ said [Wikipedia founder Jimmy] Wales.”
