One year ago the wiki began with this article:

Quote:
11:20, 23. Nov 2005

Seoul is the capital of the Republic of Korea.


Since then, we've had:
6166 pages,
27063 edits,
and 133 registered users.

Here's what it looked like a day later after we had made a few articles:
http://wiki.galbijim.com/User:Mithridates/old_main_page

except that it said "we now have 9 articles" or some other tiny number.

There's a section on the front page where Korean-related pictures from flickr get put up automatically and one of them right now is this one:


http://www.flickr.com/photos/eatingstars/303421812/

Anyway, yeah, one year. Edits really started to pick up over the last three months so by this time next year it's going to be HUUUUGE.

Sorry that made me laugh my ass off.

Yes, great work Mith et al! 6k pages is quite impressive. More than some Wikipedia languages have, I think.

Cheers for the kind words. A lot better than the snickers and jeers that came when the Galbijim Project was first announced way back when.

This guy here:

The world owes him a big debt. Here's the best article I've seen written on Wikipedia so far:
