The wikipedia.com and wikipedia.org domain names were registered on 12 [74] and 13 January, [75] respectively, with wikipedia.org being brought online on the same day. [76] The project formally opened on 15 January (" Wikipedia Day "), with the first international Wikipedias – the French, German, Catalan , Swedish , and Italian editions ...
The two most credible growth models for the whole life of Wikipedia are a Gompertz function model which predicts that article creation will eventually asymptotically approach zero, and a modified Gompertz model (see below) which predicts that growth will continue indefinitely, but at a significantly lower rate than in the early days of ...
Some estimates extend their timeline into deep prehistory, to "10,000 BC", i.e., the early Holocene, when world population estimates range roughly between 1 and 10 million (with an uncertainty of up to an order of magnitude). [3] [4] Estimates for yet deeper prehistory, into the Paleolithic, are of a different nature.
These timelines of world history detail recorded events since the creation of writing roughly 5000 years ago to the present day. For events from c. 3200 BC – c. 500 see: Timeline of ancient history; For events from c. 500 – c. 1499, see: Timeline of post-classical history; For events from c. 1500, see: Timelines of modern history
What growth occurred was unevenly distributed; roughly half of GDP growth from 2009 to 2015 went to the top 1% of households. [16] Unlike every previous post-war expansion, GDP growth remained under 3% for every calendar year. [17] Global growth would peak in 2017, resulting in a major synchronized slowdown that started in 2018.
Human history or world history is the record of humankind from prehistory to the present. Modern humans evolved in Africa around 300,000 years ago and initially lived as hunter-gatherers . They migrated out of Africa during the Last Ice Age and had spread across Earth's continental land except Antarctica by the end of the Ice Age 12,000 years ago.
Timelines describe the events that occurred before another event, leading up to it, causing it, and also those that occurred right afterward that were attributable to it. Timelines are often bulleted lists or tables.
Joseph Priestley's A New Chart of History, 1765 The bronze timeline "Fifteen meters of History" with background information board, Örebro, Sweden. A timeline is a list of events displayed in chronological order. [1] It is typically a graphic design showing a long bar labelled with dates paralleling it, and usually contemporaneous events.
