The Basque Wikipedia ( Basque: Euskarazko Wikipedia [1] or Euskal Wikipedia) is the Basque language edition of Wikipedia. Founded on December 6, 2001, [2] although its main page was created in November 2003, it reached 58,124 articles by August 19, 2010, making it the 45th-largest Wikipedia. [3] As of April 2024, it has 453 active contributors, of which 12 are administrators, and has about 431,000 articles. [4] [5] [6]
In an August 2007 interview, Jimmy Wales, co-founder of Wikipedia, used the Basque Wikipedia as an example of the rationale for having Wikipedias in smaller languages:
On January 25, 2008, the Basque Wikipedia was awarded the Argia Saria granted by the magazine Argia in the category of Internet. [8] [9] [10]
On May 21, 2011, Basque Wikipedia published its 100,000 article, an article about the prohibition of using Basque language throughout history called Euskararen debekua. [11] In December 2011, around 11,000 new articles were added to Basque Wikipedia by the Culture Ministry of the Basque Government. [12]
In 2018, the Basque Wikipedia started a sub-project where articles were aimed at children, named Txikipedia ("txiki" being Basque for "small"). It was inspired by an independent French project named Vikidia . Two years after the launch, the project had 2,600 articles, most being focused on maths and natural sciences. [13]
As of February 2012, the Basque Wikipedia has the second greatest number of articles per speaker among Wikipedias with over 100,000 articles, and ranks sixth overall. [14] These figures were based on Ethnologue's estimate of 665,800 Basque speakers.
