The Persian Wikipedia (Persian: ویکیپدیا، دانشنامهٔ آزاد Vikipedia, Dânešnâmeye Âzâd, "Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia") is the Persian language version of Wikipedia. The Persian version of Wikipedia was started in December 2003. It passed 1,000 articles on December 16, 2004, 10,000 articles on February 18, 2006 and 100,000 articles on August 25, 2010.
The Persian Wikipedia was started by the efforts of Roozbeh Pournader and other contributors.[1] On Sunday, May 22, 2011, Persian Wikipedia reached its 150,000th article.[2]
Closely related to the Persian Wikipedia is the Tajik Wikipedia which contains articles in the Tajik dialect of the Persian language. In contrast to Persian Wikipedia, which uses the Persian alphabet (a modified version of the Arabic alphabet), the Tajik version uses a modified version of Cyrillic (link) and the Latin alphabet (link).
