The Telugu Wikipedia (Telugu: తెలుగు వికీపీడియా) was begun on 10 December 2003 by Venna Nagarjuna, who is known for Padma (a system for transforming text in Indic scripts among open-source and proprietary formats). On 26 September 2024, its article count reached the 100k milestone and it is the fifth largest Indian-language Wikipedia by article count, after Urdu, Tamil, Hindi, and Bengali.^[1]
