The English-language version of Wikipedia has racked up its millionth article.
Wikimedia Foundation, the nonprofit behind the online encyclopedia written by its readers, said late Wednesday that an article about the Jordanhill railway station in Scotland became its millionth one.
Wikipedia was created in January 2001. At present, it is growing by about 1,700 articles every day.
