View source for Wikidata reached a billion edits

{{pubdate|21|August|2019}}
As of today, Wikidata has reached a billion edits - 1,000,000,000.

This makes it the first Wikimedia project that has reached that number, and possibly the first wiki ever to have reached so many edits. Given that Wikidata was launched less than seven years ago, this means an average edit rate of 4-5 edits per second.

The [https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?oldid=1000000000 billionth edit] is the creation of an item for a 2006 physics article written in Chinese.

Congratulations to the community! This is a tremendous success.
