History

The cake for the 9th anniversary of the Kannada Wikipedia.

As of 16 August 2009 the Kannada Wikipedia had about 6,800 articles,[5] making it the 100th-biggest Wikipedia edition.

As of January 2016, the Kannada Wikipedia is the tenth-largest Indian-language Wikipedia, behind Urdu, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Malayalam, Bengali, Gujarati, and Punjabi. Administrator Omshivaprakash attributes the lack of articles to a lack of interest among the Kannada-speaking community, a lack of awareness of the Kannada Wikipedia and Kannada typing tools, and limited Internet access in parts of Karnataka.[6]
