The English Wikipedia gained its one-millionth article, [[Jordanhill railway station]], on 1 March 2006.<ref>{{cite magazine|last=Simon|first=Matt|date=1 March 2012|title=March 1, 2006: English Wikipedia's Millionth Entry Pulls Into the Station|magazine=[[Wired (magazine)|Wired]]|url=https://www.wired.com/2012/03/march-1-2006-english-wikipedias-millionth-entry-pulls-into-the-station/|access-date=1 April 2024}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last=Lemon|first=Sumner|date=2 March 2006|title=Millionth English article posted on Wikipedia|website=[[Computerworld]]|url=https://www.computerworld.com/article/2563140/millionth-english-article-posted-on-wikipedia.html|access-date=1 April 2024}}</ref> The first approved Wikipedia article selection was made freely available to download, and "Wikipedia" became registered as a trademark of the Wikimedia Foundation. The [[United States congressional staff edits to Wikipedia|congressional aides biography scandals]] – multiple incidents in which congressional staffers and a campaign manager were caught trying to covertly alter Wikipedia biographies – came to public attention, leading to the resignation of the campaign manager. Nonetheless, Wikipedia was rated as one of the top five global brands of 2006.<ref>{{Cite web |date=21 March 2007 |title=brandchannel.com &#124; branding news |url=http://www.brandchannel.com/start1.asp?fa_id=352 |access-date=16 March 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070321033410/http://www.brandchannel.com/start1.asp?fa_id=352 |archive-date=21 March 2007 }}</ref>

Jimmy Wales indicated at [[Wikimania 2006]] that Wikipedia had achieved sufficient volume and called for an emphasis on quality, perhaps best expressed in the call for [[Wikipedia:100,000 feature-quality articles|100,000 feature-quality articles]]. A new privilege, "oversight", was created, allowing specific versions of archived pages with unacceptable content to be marked as non-viewable. Semi-protection against anonymous vandalism, introduced in 2005, proved more popular than expected, with over 1,000 pages being semi-protected at any given time in 2006.
