Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia that manages to generate more controversy than perhaps is warranted, has hit a massive milestone in its relatively long life: the 2 millionth user-written entry.

On Monday, The English Wikipedia site hit the 2 million mark with the article "El Hormiguero" detailing a Spanish TV show.  It took 6 years to reach this point, which means the encyclopedia has received, on average, 913 new articles per day.  Pretty impressive overall, and while the system is often open to abuse, it seems to be, on the whole, a very successful experiment.
