Link for "volunteers"
The first paragraph says "Wikipedia's 13 million articles (3 million in English) have been written collaboratively by volunteers," and "volunteers" links to the [[Volunteer|general volunteer page]. I think it should link to the [Virtual_volunteering|virtual volunteering] page instead, since these are specifically online volunteers, rather than traditional onsite volunteers, especially since Wikipedia is one of the largest examples of virtual volunteering.

Beta version of Wikipedia
Wikipedia article does not contain any information about the new beta feature nor any content about wikipedia's future. Wikipedia staff should do something about this.
Servers in Korea decommissioned?
According to Wikitech [2] [3] and Ganglia, there are no longer Wikipedia servers in Korea, though even Meta-Wiki hasn't been updated and there seems to be no up-to-date server layout diagram.
New Chapter
Dninyo (talk) 20:51, 13 March 2010 (UTC) There should be a chapter in this article about donations to Wikipedia. How this started and where these donations from readers go to.
Wikipedia as an organization.
Good day,
While Wikipedia is a project in itself, it should be considered as an organization. Wikipedia was created by people, was grown by people, and is maintained by people. Therefore, I propose the Wikipedia article include one or all of the following:
1. A general description of Wikipedia as an organization.
2. An organizational chart based on the current organization.
3. The number of members (e.g. editors) that are part of Wikipedia.
4. A graph showing the number of members of Wikipedia per year.
Finally, I suggest including statistics and graphs of the users of Wikipedia, by year and by country (or region). Users are also important since they are like customers for the "Wikipedia organization".
Best regards,
Luis R. Villegas H. México.
