This page is a chronology of events in year
2005 directly related to Wikipedia and Wikipedians, both within Wikipedia and in the whole wide world.
Wikipedia events and events in sister projects (
Wiktionary,
Wikibooks, etc.) are listed as long as they are related to Wikipedia.
Additions to this page must follow certain rules,[a]
because it is hoped that in 50 years or so this page will become a valuable source of scholar research.
^While formally
Wikipedia:Verifiability and others of Wikipedia's content-controlling policies do not apply outside the
main namespace, they must be strictly followed here, for the sake of scholarly discipline:
The listed event and its date must be mentioned in a
wikilinked or externally linked reference. It is advised to consider an external link to a specific version of a Wikipedia page rather than a wikilink, if this page is linked for a critical but volatile piece of information.
Routine Wikipedia activities, such as a promotion of an article to
featured state, are generally not listed here, unless such events generate significant buzz outside its normal working scope.
