I Think Non-Germans Might Not Be Aware Of This Because There's Rarely A Way To Naturally Stumble Upon

I think non-Germans might not be aware of this because there's rarely a way to naturally stumble upon it but

GERMAN IS INSANELY REPRESENTED ON WIKIPEDIA

I rarely see wiki entries (that aren't hyperspecific to a country or culture) that don't have a German page! In fact:

I Think Non-Germans Might Not Be Aware Of This Because There's Rarely A Way To Naturally Stumble Upon

["Number of German articles on Wikipedia by 2023 (... in) June there were 2.8 Million German articles on Wikipedia. This places the German wikipedia on the third place of the ranking, whcih is lead by the English version with around 6.7 Million articles."]

41% of the English Wikipedia exists in German! This is a literal goldmine of content!!

Read about your interests! Look up your favorite celebrities! Read summaries of books, movies, mythologies, whatever your heart desires!!!!

Want to read but don't know what to search for? The homepage of the German Wikipedia (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Hauptseite) is updated everyday with - an article of the day - on this day in the past - in the news - recently deceased - did you know? for you to peruse. And of course, the German version has a "random article" function too! It's called "Zufälliger Artikel" or "Zufällige Seite" and can be found on the left side of the screen (laptop) and in the popup menu on the left side (mobile)!
