Hair Loss???

Friends, I feel amazed. Wikipedia contains all the details you require. It is almost more than eight years and the work of vast numbers of people around the world, but the English version of Wikipedia has finally amassed more than what they actually predicted. The site broke through the 3 million barrier early on Monday morning, with the honors taken by a short article about Norwegian actor Beate Eriksen - a 48-year-old cast member of a popular local soap opera. Although the latest milestone was reached without much fanfare - a short announcement was one of the few mentions of the breakthrough. It still marks a significant achievement for a project which says its aim is to collect the sum of all human knowledge.

Do you know? The English version of Wikipedia remains the largest, attempts in other languages continue to expand. The French Wikipedia now has more than 800,000 articles, while the Japanese, Polish and Italian sites have around 600,000 each. The German version of the site is also awesome. I happened to browse through these details when I went though an article related to ISHRS. Just for your information, Wikipedia was founded in 2001 by a team including web entrepreneur Jimmy Wales and philosopher Larry Sanger. There are a plenty of information over the web. Try to make the best use of it.
