Areas of strength

Strong coverage about Greece and the Greek-speaking world
Good coverage of topics about Europe, as well a good quality standard in the articles
Rapid growth of the community, in contrast with many other European Wikipedias

Слабые места

Низкое количество участников из Кипра
Lack of many articles about Cyprus, but also for many countries of Asia, Africa and America.
Few contributors from outside Greece and Cyprus and general, despite the great communities of Greek speakers abroad, in countries such as Germany, United States and Australia.
Missing sources and neutrality problems in a few articles.

Who is the competitor?

Online
- Livepedia (it has shut down since 2018, thus Greek Wikipedia hasn't any competitor)
- There also a few mirror sites.
Print
- Papyros Larousse Encyclopedia, greek translation of Great Soviet Encyclopedia and many other print encyclopedias.

What has its impact been?

Cooperation among Greek-speaking users have built an encyclopedia with a good quality standard. It is also widely used by Greek- speaking users and articles of el-WP are frequently copied in the media, as an addition to related news items.

What language features are challenging?

There aren't language features that are challenging, mostly alternate spellings of words, which are both allowed.

What would surprise the outside reader about the community?

The lack of many articles about Ancient Greece.
Community makeup - As of January 2022, approximately 85-90% from Greece, some 3-5% from Cyprus. The rest are from various countries, such as Germany, US, UK, Australia, France and other countries (e.g. Netherlands).
Chapters
- Wikimedia Community User Group Greece (existing). Considered to be converted to Wikimedia Greece, there isn't however a chapter for Cyprus (or a user group at least).
