The Italian Wikipedia ((イタリア語:Wikipedia in italiano)) is the Italian-language edition of Wikipedia. This edition was created on May 11, 2001〔New language wikis, Wikipedia-l mailing list.〕 and first edited on June 11, 2001. As of September, 2015 it has over }} articles and more than }} registered accounts.〔:it:Speciale:Statistics〕 It is the 9th-largest Wikipedia as measured by the number of articles (after the English, Swedish, German, Dutch, French, Cebuano, Russian, and Waray-Waray editions).〔List of Wikipedias〕 ==History== As early as March 2001, Jimmy Wales, the creator and co-founder of the original English language Wikipedia, had proposed the creation of parallel Wikipedia projects in other languages.〔http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikipedia-l/2001-March/000048.html|Alternative language wikipedias〕 The Italian language version was among the first ones to be created, in May 2001. The original URL was italian.wikipedia.com, while the standardized ISO 639 address it.wikipedia.com became active a few days later.〔Re: new language wikis, Wikipedia-l mailing list.〕 Afterwards, Wikipedia sites switched their domains from wikipedia.com to wikipedia.org. The very first pages (circa five hundred) were simply untranslated copies from the English-language Wikipedia; the first edits were made from 11 June 2001 onwards. One of the earlier edits was an appeal to help Nupedia; the first entries on the Italian Wikipedia were the pages on Dante Alighieri, Petrarch, Manzoni, and other Italian writers. The edits were not numerous, and the priority was initially given to helping Nupedia; the lemmas were just twenty or thirty, and there were about ten users. With the end of the Nupedia project, the situation began to improve for the Italian Wikipedia: users started to sign in, and the functions of administrators and semi-protection were implemented. This happened by 2004; the number of articles was now 56,000. In August 2005 the Italian Wikipedia overtook the Spanish and Portuguese language editions, becoming the 8th largest edition by article count. The primary reason for the rapid leap from 56,000 to 64,000 articles was an automated bot which created stub articles on more than 8,000 municipalities of Spain in an operation dubbed "''Comuni spagnoli''".〔Wikipedia:Ultime_notizie〕〔Progetto:Geografia/Antropica/Comuni_spagnoli〕 On September 8, 2005, the Italian Wikipedia overtook the Dutch Wikipedia and one day later, on September 9, it passed 100,000 articles. On September 11, it overtook the Swedish Wikipedia, becoming the fifth-largest language edition. Again, automated scripts contributed heavily to the growth. For instance, a bot created more than 35,000 articles on municipalities of France.〔Progetto:Comuni_della_Francia〕 However, it was overtaken by the Polish edition on September 23, 2005. In June 2006, Italian Wikipedia users independently created the Template:Bio (with "Bio" being a diminutive of ''biografia'', "biography"). This was later exported and adapted to all other Wikipedias; among them, the English Wikipedia Infobox person. On 23 October, the Polish version surpassed the Italian Wikipedia by number of articles. As of 16 October 2006, the registered number of users was 100,000 (90 of which were administrators). In 2007, the Italian Wikipedia adopted an ''Exemption Doctrin Policy'', shared with other Wikipedias. In the same year, on 21 May, there were more than 300,000 entries. On 22 January 2008, the entries were 400,000; on 3 October, they were 500,000. The number of users had reached 250,000. In 2009 the Italian Wikipedia was awarded the Premiolino, the oldest and most prestigious Italian journalism prize, in the new media category. On June 22, 2010, it passed 700,000 articles (Robie House – 700,000th article). On September 28, 2010, the Italian Wikipedia overtook the Polish Wikipedia, becoming the 4th largest edition, though in October 2010 the numbers on both Wikipedias were very close, and as of 2011 the Polish Wikipedia is in the lead again.〔On October 12, 2010: 735 444 (pl) vs 735.375 (it)〕 On May 12, 2011, it passed 800,000 articles. On the same day, it overtook the Polish Wikipedia. On March 12, 2012, it passed 900,000 articles. On January 22, 2013, it passed 1,000,000 articles. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Italian Wikipedia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
