Wookieepedia:First anniversary media release

On March 4 2006, Wookieepedia - Wiki-based Star Wars encyclopedia - celebrates its 1 year anniversary. In the year since being established by Chad Barbry with Steve Greenwood, the site has grown exponentially is size, now boasting over 25,000 articles.

[mention largest Wikicity ever. how does it compare to other Wikis? aside from Wikipedia and Wiktionary, is it the largest?]

The site has amassed a huge fan following in the seemingly short year since its inception, with hundreds of enthusiastic users and a team of 11 superb administrators constantly contributing from all corners of the world. One does not have to dig very far into Star Wars online forums, message boards and blogs before finding several links and references to Wookieepedia.

Even official Star Wars authors and artists have been known to reference the site. [A quote from Abel G. Pena will go here if he agrees, just waiting for him to reply to my email]
