The Irish Wikipedia (Irish: Vicipéid na Gaeilge) is the Irish-language version of Wikipedia. It is a free online encyclopedia written in the Irish language. This special edition of Wikipedia began in October 2003.
What is the Irish Wikipedia?
The Irish Wikipedia is a huge collection of information, all written in the Irish language. It's like a giant digital library that anyone can read for free. It's also a place where people who speak Irish can share their knowledge.
How Wikipedia Works
Wikipedia is unique because it's built by volunteers from all over the world. These volunteers write and edit articles on many different topics. This means that anyone can help improve the Irish Wikipedia by adding new facts or fixing mistakes. It's a community effort to create a useful resource for everyone.
A Look at the Numbers
The Irish Wikipedia has grown a lot since it started. As of July 2013, it had more than 20,000 articles. This number keeps growing as more volunteers add new information. Each article helps to make the Irish Wikipedia a richer source of knowledge.
When Did It Start?
The Irish Wikipedia project officially began in October 2003. Since then, it has been a valuable tool for Irish speakers and learners. It helps to preserve and share information in the Irish language online.
