Editing History of Wikipedia (section)

===Publication on other media===
The [[German Wikipedia]] was the first to be partly published also using other media (rather than online on the internet), including releases on CD in November 2004<ref>{{Cite web |title=Wikipedia, Die freie Enzyklopädie |url=http://www.digitale-bibliothek.de/scripts/ts.dll?s=1&id=E0016306&mp=/art/1266/&sc=Wikipedia.htm |access-date=25 April 2007 |language=de}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref> and more extended versions on CDs or DVD in April 2005 and December 2006. In December 2005, the publisher Zenodot Verlagsgesellschaft mbH, a sister company of Directmedia, published a 139-page book explaining Wikipedia, its history and policies, which was accompanied by a 7.5 GB DVD containing 300,000 articles and 100,000 images from the German Wikipedia.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Neue Wikipedia-DVD im Handel und zum Download |url=http://www.heise.de/newsticker/result.xhtml?url=/newsticker/meldung/67137&words=Wikipedia%20DVD |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070605174842/http://www.heise.de/newsticker/result.xhtml?url=%2Fnewsticker%2Fmeldung%2F67137&words=Wikipedia%20DVD |archive-date=5 June 2007 |access-date=25 April 2007 |language=de}}</ref> Originally, Directmedia also announced plans to print the German Wikipedia in its entirety, in 100 volumes of 800 pages each. The publication was due to begin in October 2006, and finish in 2010. In March 2006, however, this project was called off.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Wikipedia wird noch nicht gedruckt |date=24 March 2006 |url=http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/71231 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070416131622/http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/71231 |archive-date=16 April 2007 |access-date=25 April 2007 |language=de}}</ref>

In September 2008, [[Bertelsmann]] published a 1000 pages volume with a selection of popular German Wikipedia articles. Bertelsmann paid voluntarily 1 Euro per sold copy to [[Wikimedia Deutschland]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=online |first=heise |title=Wikipedia wird noch nicht gedruckt |url=https://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/Wikipedia-wird-noch-nicht-gedruckt-112468.html |access-date=16 March 2023 |website=heise online |date=24 March 2006 |language=de |archive-date=18 November 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181118200418/https://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/Wikipedia-wird-noch-nicht-gedruckt-112468.html |url-status=live }}</ref> A free software project has also been launched to make a static version of [[English Wikipedia]] available for use on [[iPod]]s. The "Encyclopodia" project was started around March 2006 and can currently be used on 1st to 4th-generation iPods.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Encyclopodia – the encyclopedia on your iPod |url=http://encyclopodia.sourceforge.net/en/index.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070427070452/http://encyclopodia.sourceforge.net/en/index.html |archive-date=27 April 2007 |access-date=25 April 2007 |publisher=[[SourceForge]]}}</ref>
