The Irish Wikipedia (Irish: Vicipéid na Gaeilge), also known as An Vicipéid, is the Irish-language version of Wikipedia, run by the Wikimedia Foundation and established in October 2003, with the first article being written in January 2004.
The founder of Vicipéid was Gabriel Beecham.[2] In September 2005 over 1600 articles had been written, with 173 contributors (both regular and irregular) having written material.[2] By March 2007, about 20 regular Wikipedians were writing articles, with up to 7,000 articles having been created.[3] In February 2021, it was just under the 55,000 article mark, making it the 94th largest Wikipedia by article count.
The Vicipéid now encompasses a wide range of subjects, including topics as diverse as philosophy,[4] genetics,[5] Aboriginal bark canoes,[6] and maritime terminology.[7] The Vicipéid draws (with permission) directly from Fréamh an Eolais, an Irish-language encyclopedia of science and technology, written by Matt Hussey.[8]
