The Korean Wikipedia is the Korean language edition of Wikipedia, run by the Wikimedia Foundation. As of February 26, 2007, the Korean Wikipedia has 33,987 articles.
The physical servers of the Korean language Wikipedia, along with the Chinese language and Japanese language Wikipedias, are located in a Yahoo! datacenter based in Seoul, Korea.[citation needed]
This is a small number compared to the number of internet users in Korea (over 33 million Koreans have access to the internet), and this is in part due to the prevalence of exclusively Korean-owned search engines such as Naver. These search engines use a question and answer service Knowledge iN. That is often used by Koreans in searching for general knowledge in the same way that Wikipedia is used, though content written by another may not be edited.
[edit] Trivia
- The encyclopedia is written almost entirely in hangeul. Hanja is only used in order to clarify certain phrases, and is usually parenthesized.
