Wikipedia is mentioned in the Dutch weekly magazine Intermediair, in a column on open source and open content by Herbert Blankensteijn. Article not online; website at http://www.intermediair.nl.
More Statistics information - we've now passed 32,000 substantial articles. We're closing in on 33,333 (one third of the way toward 100,000).
A few of the signs that Wikipedia is starting to gain some general acceptance as a reference work (at least online among the tech-savvy) are that a recent Salon.com article (http://www.salon.com/tech/col/rose/2002/04/12/microsoft_man_months/index.html) links to Wikipedia's software engineering article, and the website for development of the popular programming language Perl, dev.perl.org (http://dev.perl.org/perl6/), has a link to Wikipedia's BASIC article.
We passed the 31,000 substantial article mark according to the Statistics page over the weekend. Somewhere in the beginning of the Wikipedia there was a stated aim of 100,000 articles. Almost a third of the way there!
As of April 3, 2002, Wikipedia has reached the 28,000 article mark, according to its front page article counter. (The statistics page count, which has a different count, shows that there are about 30715 articles, not counting any subpages!)
