I've put up a draft press release to celebrate the English WP's 500,000th article here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Press_releases/March_2005
It is not quite like our previous press releases; see what you think, edit and improve on it.
The current version looks pretty good to me - not a great deal I could see to add, and it seems tightly and professionally written (I've done a few press releases that have got into national newspapers).
The press release should make at least one reference to the fact that this is a multilingual, cross-referenced encyclopedia, which alone makes Wikipedia unique.
