Wikipedia is also known for its community. In 2004 Wikipedia won the Webby Award for "Community" and the Prix Ars Electronica's Golden Nica for "Digital Communities". Since the start of the project, over 650,000 registered users have made at least ten edits to Wikipedia. The total number of accounts created on the English Wikipedia alone exceeds 10 million. However, most edits on that language's edition come from a few thousand of its most dedicated users. |
