 | This is an essay. It contains the advice or opinions of one or more Wikipedia contributors. This page is not an encyclopedia article, nor is it one of Wikipedia's policies or guidelines, as it has not been thoroughly vetted by the community. Some essays represent widespread norms; others only represent minority viewpoints. |
- Except as specifically noted, all statements in this essay are as of July or August 2007[update], and (appropriately – this is not meta-WP) likely to refer specifically to the English Wikipedia.
Wikipedia is being flooded with new articles every day. The English Wikipedia as of January 2008[update] has over 2.1 million articles; however, this is increasing at an alarming and uncontrolled rate. The rate at which Wikipedia's existing articles are improving to GA or FA status is far lower than the rate at which new articles are being created.
