维基百科:翻译请求/非条目/十周年给传媒通告

Pasted below is a simple draft media advisory we plan to share on ten.wikipedia, as well as disseminate using a wire service. This isn't a press release, but a simple media "note" to make sure that press understand that the 10 year birthday is approaching and encourage them to start writing stories if they haven't yet.

We hope to have a draft release for you to use by Monday end of day.

Also, as mentioned before, we plan to use the hashtag #wp10 for our social media posts.

Wikipedia to Celebrate 10th Birthday January 15, 2011

January 15, 2011 will mark a decade of Wikipedia. Founded by Jimmy Wales in 2001, Wikipedia has become the fifth most popular website in the world with 410 million monthly readers (comScore, November 2010). Just three years after its founding, Wikipedia reached 500,000 articles in 50 languages. Now, at 17 million articles in 270 languages and growing, Wikipedia is the only top-ten website in the world that is truly user-generated, supported and maintained. Over the last ten years, hundreds of thousands of people have contributed more than one billion edits to this vital resource.

To commemorate this historical milestone, people all over the world are gathering at events -- at least five on every continent -- to celebrate Wikipedia. 17 volunteer-planned events will be taking place in India alone. We invite you to join volunteers in A Coruña, Spain, Bangalore, India, Skopje, Macedonia, London, England, Nairobi, Kenya or any of the 150 (and counting) events all over the world : http://ten.wikipedia.org/

2011年1月15日将会是维基百科的一个十年。一个在2001年由吉米·威尔士开设的网站今天已经成为世界上第五个最受欢迎的网站（comScore，2010年11月）。在创办三年后，维基百科在五十个语言合计已经有五十万条条目。现时，在二百七十个语言当中合计已经有一千七百万条条目，并且正在增长。维基百科是世界上首十个最受欢迎的网站内唯一一个由用户管理及修改的网站。在过去的十年，数十万人已经进行合计超过一亿次编辑。

为了庆祝这个历史时刻，全球的维基人会举行聚会以庆祝。（译者改）在大中华地区，多个活动将会举行，包括在中国内地、香港、台湾等地。我们邀请你参与这些活动，又或是世界上150个（持续计划中）活动其中之一个，请到http://ten.wikipedia.org 了解活动的详细资讯。
