Edge in the News: 2006
One year ago, the article count for the african origin language Wikipedias was 772, the Afrikaans Wikipedia 4,439 and the Arab Wikipedia 10,247. Together they had just above 15,000 articles, while today they have passed 36,000. The pacific language Wikipedias remained small during 2006. Polynesian language Wikipedias grew most, while the rest advanced slowly. No Wikipedia reached 500 articles.
One year ago, 3 had reached 100 articles. The total article count was 918. There is still no Wikipedia in any Australian aboriginal language. East Asia competes with Europe and America as a developed Wikipedia area.
Chinese passed 100,000 articles. One year ago, the total article count was 238,190. European languages still dominate the Wikipedia system. English has 1,560,143 articles, more than the total number of articles for Wikipedias in languages of all continents outside of Europe.
English passed the milestones of 1 million and later 1,5 million articles in 2006, fortifying the position of the English Wikipedia as the greatest one-language encyclopedia that ever existed. But historically, the relative weight of the English Wikipedia is going down. The percentage of english Wikipedia articles seems to be roughly similar to the percentage of native english speakers on the Internet. One year ago they had 2,747,489 articles.
With less than one thousand: Romansh state language in Switzerland. One year ago such Wikipedias had 74,392 articles.

The 7 wikipedias have 3,803 registered users, of which Esperanto alone has 2,662. Including these, planned languages on the Meta page have 84,213 articles. The 9 Wikipedias in historical or «dead» languages have 14,537 articles and 3,327 registered users. The borderline Wikipedia in Simple English , arguably a language without native speakers, has 13,124 articles and 7,195 users.

As horrific as present-day events are, such sadism would be unthinkable today in most of the world. This is just one example of the most important and under appreciated trend in the history of our species: the decline of violence. My optimism lies in the hope that the decline of force over the centuries is a real phenomenon, that it is the product of systematic forces that will continue to operate, and that we can identify those forces and perhaps concentrate and bottle them. Simon Baron-Cohen Director of the Autism Research Centre, University of Cambridge I remain optimistic that for a good proportion of them [people with autism], it has never been a better time to have autism. Because there is a remarkably good fit between the autistic mind and the digital age.

Daniel Dennett Professor of Philosophy, Tufts University, author of Breaking the Spell I expect to live to see the evaporation of the powerful mystique of religion. I think that in about 25 years almost all religions will have evolved into very different phenomena. With the worldwide spread of information technology not just the internet, but cell phones and portable radios and television , it is no longer feasible for guardians of religious traditions to protect their young from exposure to the kinds of facts and, yes, of course, misinformation and junk of every genre that gently, irresistibly undermine the mindsets requisite for religious fanaticism and intolerance. Voters in democracy sometimes make good choices and avoid bad choices cf some recent elections in a major First World country.

In November, Andre Dwayne Suggs pleaded guilty to second-degree murder.
The murder, which happened on federal property, is not counted in city homicide statistics. On Sept. He is currently awaiting trial.
