Wikimedia Commons MosaicAs the Chinese Wikipedia reaches 100,000 articles, the Wikimedia Commons is getting ready to celebrate a milestone of its own — 1 million files.

    […] Finally a reason to meet Erik’s odd suggestion that WikiAngela should contain hippos. The millionth file has been uploaded to the Wikimedia Commons and it’s a picture of hippos at Singapore Zoo by Terence Ong! See my previous post about the mosaic created to celebrate this milestone. […]
