Many of the Wikipedia editors are high school and college age young males, predominantly from North America and Western Europe. This not only effects what topics get the most attention, but may also effect their behavior. Do not be surprised when some editors choose [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:edit war|edit wars]] over page content instead of discussion and compromise.

Many of the Wikipedia editors are high school and college age young males, predominantly from North America and Western Europe. This not only effects what topics get the most attention, but may also effect their behavior. Do not be surprised when some editors choose edit wars over page content instead of discussion and compromise.

A table with a date column, plus columns for the number of articles, users, and admins (from Special:Statistics for MediaWiki wikis). For larger wikis, maybe a column for their Alexa rating as well. [note:current stats in the table are fake.]

Mirror websites

The Wikipedia has numerous mirror websites. Some of them have cooperative agreements with the Wikipedia, while others have only posted an old download of the database that is never updated, and they have removed all reference to the Wikipedia and the GFDL licence. Here are two of the better mirrors:

Forks of the Wikipedia

Most forks of the Wikipedia have been started by someone who had disagreements over policy or editorial content as an editor on the Wikipedia.
