The Dutch Wikipedia (which is Nederlandse Wikipedia in Dutch) is the version of Wikipedia written in the Dutch language. It's like a giant online encyclopedia where you can find information about almost anything, all in Dutch!
This special edition of Wikipedia started way back in June 2001. For a while, it was super popular and became the 3rd largest Wikipedia in April 2013. That's a huge achievement! Since then, it has moved to the sixth spot, but it still has a massive amount of articles.
Right now, the Dutch Wikipedia has over Expression error: Unexpected < operator. articles. That's millions of pages full of facts and knowledge! You can visit its main page here: Dutch Wikipedia main page.
What is Wikipedia?
Wikipedia is a free online encyclopedia that anyone can edit. It's a project to create a world of knowledge that's available to everyone. People from all over the world work together to write and improve articles.
How the Dutch Wikipedia Works
Just like other Wikipedias, the Dutch Wikipedia is built by volunteers. These volunteers are people who love to share knowledge. They write new articles, check facts, and make sure the information is correct. It's a big team effort!
Learning and Contributing
The Dutch Wikipedia is a great place to learn about many different topics. You can find articles on history, science, famous people, and much more. If you're interested, you can even learn how to contribute and help improve the encyclopedia yourself!
