The 2-millionth article has been published on Wikipedia's English version of the online encyclopaedia that anyone can edit.

Wikipedia is available in 250 languages, and has more than eight million entries combined. It is the sixth most visited network of Web sites worldwide, following Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, Time Warner and eBay.

The network's English site hit the 2-millionth milestone when an entry on El Hormiguero, a Spanish TV show, was created by Wikipedia contributor Zzxc. More than 100,000 registered users have each made at least 10 edits to entries since Wikipedia began in 2001, according to the Wikimedia Foundation, a non-profit organisation that operates the network of sites.

Wikipedia's English version is the largest, with 3.4 million contributors. German and French versions follow, each of which have more than 500,000 entries each, according to an AsiaMedia article.
