Does anyone speak Urdu / know why there's a sun image behind their Wikipedia's logo?
Doesn't seem to be milestone related.
thanks! phoebe

Appears to have been introduced on April 1, 2007. The logo before that celebrated their 5,000th article; I don't know why they decided to add the sun afterward.

I don't speak it, but the sun symbolizes the (sun)rise or dawn of knowledge.
