Wiktionary now has its own url and has moved to wiktionary.org (http://wiktionary.org/).

Wiktionary, a companion project aiming to be a multilingual dictionary and thesaurus linked to Wikipedia's encyclopedia articles, is starting up at http://wiktionary.wikipedia.org/.

For article count watchers, note that some longstanding drift problems, exacerbated recently by a buglet in the Rambot, have been fixed. The usefulness of the count algorithm is still open to debate, but the numbers are now correct.

Wikipedia now has a Google PageRank of 8/10. This is likely to bring in even more traffic and contributors to the site.

December 2, 2002

The Swedish Wikipedia (http://sv.wikipedia.org/) is now running on the new server with a fully localized user interface. Also, a stub has been set up for Greek (http://el.wikipedia.org/); the user interface is not yet localized, but it's set up for Unicode and should work for inputting Greek text.
