Telugu Wikipedia reaches 30,000 articles
Telugu Wikipedia reaches 30,000 articles! Currently, it has 2,622 registered users. It is the only Indian Language Wikipedia ever to have more than 20,000 articles.
However, it is good to see that 6 Indian Language Wikipedias (Telugu, Manipuri, Bengali, Hindi, Tamil and Marathi) have crossed 10,000 article mark. The following table shows the number of articles and registered users (as I write) in each of the Indian Language Wikipedias.
