English Wikipedia
From Wikipedia Mirror
Template:Pp-move-indef Template:Infobox website The English Wikipedia is the English language edition of the free online encyclopedia Wikipedia. Founded on 15 January 2001 and reaching three million articles by August 2009,[1] it was the first edition of Wikipedia and remains the largest, with more than three times as many articles as the next largest, the German Wikipedia. Template:As of, 22.3% of articles in all Wikipedias belong to the English language edition; this share has gradually declined from more than 50% in 2003, due to the growth of Wikipedias in other languages.[1] There are currently 1 articles on the site.
The English Wikipedia has an Arbitration Committee (also known as ArbCom) that consists of a panel of editors that imposes binding rulings with regard to disputes between other editors of the online encyclopedia.[1] The Committee of 12 arbitrators was created by Jimmy Wales on December 4, 2003 as an extension of the decision-making power he had formerly held as owner of the site.[1][1][1][1] Like other aspects of the English Wikipedia, Wikipedia's sister projects have emulated the Arbitration Committee with their own similar versions. In 2007, an Arbitration Committee was founded on the German Wikipedia called the Schiedsrichter.[1]
