Everyone grab your noise makers, Wikipedia has hit another milestone on it’s way to cataloging all knowledge. It has been eight years since Wikipedia made it’s mark on the world, and here we now sit at 3 million articles. If you don’t like doing math, Wikipedia averaged 1,027 entries a day going into it’s eight year anniversary.

So, what topic was the 3 millionth? It concerns a Norwegian actress by the name of Beate Eriksen. She has appeared in a few soap opera roles, and curiously enough she married one of the actors on the show. It’s quite an interesting story actually…but I better get back on topic.

Over 10 million registered users have taken party in the project thus far, and more than 17 million pages have been created as a result.

Without further adieu, Happy Anniversary Wikipedia!!
