Areas of strength

Areas of weakness

• Few contributors from outside Greece and Cyprus and general, despite the great communities of Greek speakers abroad, in countries such as Germany, United States and Australia.
• Missing sources and neutrality problems in a few articles.

Who is the competitor?

• オンライン
  • Livepedia (it has shut down since 2018, thus Greek Wikipedia hasn't any competitor)
  • There also a few mirror sites.
• Print
  • Papyros Larousse Encyclopedia, greek translation of Great Soviet Encyclopedia and many other print encyclopedias.

Prominent milestones/events

• In 9 April 2014 100,000 articles were reached and 200,000 in 27 November 2021.

What has its impact been?

• Cooperation among Greek-speaking users have built an encyclopedia with a good quality standard. It is also widely used by Greek- speaking users and articles of el-WP are frequently copied in the media, as an addition to related news items.

特徴

What language features are challenging?

• There aren't language features that are challenging, mostly alternate spellings of words, which are both allowed.

What would surprise the outside reader about the community?
