The first contribution in a non-English article dates from March 17 at 01:41 UTC in the article http://ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%80bac Sources: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Wikipedia#History http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalan_Wikipedia#Creation fwiw I learned all this back in March when the Catalan Wikipedia was celebrating the 10th anniversary with a big banner in all ca.wikipedia.org pages. -- Quim (son of German mother and Catalan father, based in USA) ;) On 5/11/2011 4:34 AM, ext Анатолій Гончаров wrote: > German and Catalan wikis was created on March 2001 > > 2011/5/11<foundation-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org> > >> Happy birthday. >> >> If you read carefully the mail you are pointing to there it says: >> >> "Toan and I added 9 new other-language wikis to the mix." >> >> But in the list there are 11 languages. >> >> The difference is because it was not the first group of non-English >> Wikipedias coming online. _______________________________________________ foundation-l mailing list foundation-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-l
