The Uzbek Wikipedia ((ウズベク語:''Oʻzbekcha Vikipediya'' in Latin script, ''Ўзбекча Википедия'' in Cyrillic script)) is the Uzbek-language edition of the free online encyclopedia Wikipedia. It was founded in December 2003. Articles in the Uzbek-language edition are written in the Latin script. In August 2012, a Latin-to-Cyrillic converter was added to allow users to view Uzbek Wikipedia's pages in both the Latin and Cyrillic scripts. The Uzbek Wikipedia is currently blocked in Uzbekistan. While the reasons for the blockage are undisclosed, some believe that the encyclopedia has been blocked because the Uzbek government is concerned about the appearance of articles critical of its actions. Others have speculated that the Uzbek Wikipedia has been blocked simply as an "act of showmanship" because the government of Uzbekistan sees Uzbek-language content as subject to its jurisdiction. The blockage is not very robust: currently, the pages of the Uzbek Wikipedia can be accessed on an HTTPS connection. Although Uzbekistan has almost 9 million Internet users, there are not many active editors in the Uzbek Wikipedia and a majority of the existing articles are poorly sourced.〔 Since early 2012, however, both the number of active users and well-written articles have increased noticeably. The number of visits to the encyclopedia has also been rising lately. In early 2013, the Uzbek-language Wikipedia ranked first among different editions of Wikipedia in terms of annual page-view growth.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://stats.wikimedia.org/EN/TablesPageViewsMonthlyCombined.htm )〕 The current number of articles in the Uzbek Wikipedia is . == History == The Uzbek Wikipedia was launched in December 2003. The very first edit was made on the main page of the encyclopedia on 21 December 2003. During 2004, the Uzbek Wikipedia remained largely inactive. However, in 2005, the encyclopedia gradually started to grow. Sometime around the end of September and beginning of October 2011, the Uzbek Wikipedia was blocked in Uzbekistan. Despite the blockage, the encyclopedia started to grow fast in 2012. During that same year, a bot was used to create a large number of articles. In 2013, another bot was used to add all of the articles of the ''National Encyclopedia of Uzbekistan'' to the Uzbek Wikipedia. A mirror of the Uzbek Wikipedia was set up at in 2008. It was created to reduce international traffic for Internet users in Uzbekistan. However, the mirror has been down since June 2012. 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「Uzbek Wikipedia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
