History

This Wikipedia was created in 2005,^[1] thanks to the unusual collaboration between the Lithuanian Šarūnas Šimkus, then a teenager, and Paraguayan academic David Galeano Olivera.^[2] The idea is to promote the usage and modernisation of the Guarani language.^[3]

In December de 2012, Wikimedia Argentina published a booklet, "Vikipetã mbo’eha kotýpe", devoted to this version of the virtual encyclopedia.^[4]

Several workshops on Guarani Wikipedia have been carried out throughout Paraguay, jointly organized by Wikimedia Argentina and Fundación Paraguay Educa (an institution working on the OLPC project).^[5]

The University of Leipzig has elaborated a corpus based on Guarani Wikipedia.^[6]
