From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Dbiel (talk | contribs) at 04:02, 2 April 2013 (→To Do List: added links to the two wikidata pages I am currently trying to sort out). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

I have found Wikipedia to be a very useful tool and as a result was lead to help make it even better. I had been actively involved with SpamCop serving as one of the two admins of the SpamCop Wiki[1] and also as one of the five moderators of the SpamCop Fourms[2]

My current schedule no longer permits be to be active in Wikipedia, but I still believe in the value of Wikipedia and make use of it as a initial reference source.

Flashback to Wikipedia's past

Nostalgia is a link to what Wikipedia looked like back in 2001 when we had only 19,000 articles.

The English Wikipedia now has over 6,904,315 articles. (purge server to refresh number). The five-millionth article, Persoonia terminalis, about a rare shrub, was written by an editor in Australia just after midnight on November 1, 2015.

To view an archived version of Wikipedia between 2001 and now, see the Wayback Machine.
