The Basque Wikipedia (Euskarazko Wikipedia or ''Euskal Wikipedia'' in Basque) is the Basque language edition of Wikipedia. Founded on December 6, 2001〔Multilingual monthly statistics〕 (although its main page was created in November 2003) and reaching 58,124 articles by August 19, 2010, making it the 45th-largest Wikipedia.〔List of Wikipedias - Meta〕 As of , it has active contributors, of which are administrators, and has about }} articles.〔Basque Wikipedia´s statistics〕〔Basque Wikipedia´s statistic〕〔Graphics on Basque Wikipedia〕 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: :"Certainly within Wikipedia right now we are seeing some fairly successful projects in small European languages. You don't really need a Welsh language Wikipedia, perhaps. The number of people who speak Welsh who don't also speak English is very small and getting smaller every year. So why do we have a Welsh Wikipedia? Well, people wanted it, so they're making it. And language preservation is the main motive. It is their mother tongue and they want to keep it alive, keep its literature alive. Certainly some of the larger small languages like Basque and Catalan have very successful projects. I definitely see that preserving parts of your language and culture through collaborative projects makes a lot of sense."〔(Interview on geekillustrated.com, August 2007 )〕 On January 25, 2008, the Basque Wikipedia was awarded the Argia Saria granted by the magazine ''Argia'' in the category of Internet. 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''. On December, 2011, around 11,000 new articles were added to Basque Wikipedia by the Culture Ministry of the Basque Government.〔(Cultura incorpora 11.000 nuevas entradas a la Wikipedia en euskera ) (ABC.es, December 29, 2011)〕 ==Statistics== 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.〔http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/List_of_Wikipedias_by_speakers_per_article List of Wikipedias by speakers per article〕 These figures were based on Ethnologue's estimate of 665,800 Basque speakers.
