    The English Wikipedia is the English-

    language edition of the free online


    encyclopedia Wikipedia. Founded on 15 January
    2001, it is the first edition of Wikipedia and, as of
    April 2019, has the most articles of any of the
    editions.[2] As of September 2019, 12% of articles in
    all Wikipedias belong to the English-language
    edition. This share has gradually declined from more
    than 50 percent in 2003, due to the growth of
    Wikipedias in other languages.[3] As of 26
    September 2019, there are 5,936,673 articles on the
    site,[4] having surpassed the 5 million mark on 1
    November 2015.[5] In October 2015, the combined
    text of the English Wikipedia's articles totalled
    11.5 gigabytes when compressed.[6]
    The Simple English Wikipedia is a variation in which
    most of the articles use only basic English
    vocabulary. There is also the Old English
    (Ænglisc/Anglo-Saxon) Wikipedia (angwiki).
