====2004==== The worldwide Wikipedia article pool continued to grow rapidly in 2004, doubling in size in 12 months, from under 500,000 articles in late 2003 to over 1 million in over 100 languages by the end of 2004. The English Wikipedia accounted for just under half of these articles. The website's [[server farm]]s were moved from California to Florida. {{self-reference link|Wikipedia:Categories|Categories}} and [[CSS]] style configuration sheets were introduced. The first attempt to block Wikipedia occurred, with the website being blocked in China for two weeks in June. Formal elections began for a board for the Foundation, and an Arbitration Committee on English Wikipedia. The first national chapter of the Foundation, [[Wikimedia Deutschland]], was recognized. The first social meeting in the United States took place in [[Boston]], [[Wikipedia:Meetup/Boston1|in July]]. [[Wikimedia Commons]] was created on 7 September 2004 to host media files for Wikipedia in all languages. ''Bourgeois v.

Although the threat level was 'elevated' at the time of the protest, 'to date, the threat level has stood at yellow (elevated) for the majority of its time in existence. It has been raised to orange (high) six times.{{'-}}"<ref name="Bour v Pete" />
