What is Punjabi Wikipedia?
The Punjabi Wikipedia is a website where you can find information about almost anything, all written in Punjabi. It's like a giant digital library that never closes. You can learn about history, science, famous people, and much more.
How it Began
The idea for Punjabi Wikipedia started way back on June 3, 2002. However, it took a little while for things to get going. The very first three articles were actually written in August 2004. Think of it like planting a seed; it takes time for it to grow!
Growing Community
Since its humble beginnings, the Punjabi Wikipedia has grown a lot. By November 2015, it had nearly 20,000 articles! That's a huge number of topics covered. Also, more than 12,000 people had signed up as registered users. These users are often the ones who help write and improve the articles.
How You Can Explore
You can visit the Punjabi Wikipedia anytime to read articles. It's a fantastic resource for school projects or just learning new things for fun. Because it's a free encyclopedia, it's available to everyone with an internet connection.
