Since I haven't seen it mentioned...
it.wikipedia broke 250,000 articles in the last few days; it's the seventh one to pass the quarter-million mark. Portugese is close behind - maybe this month for them? Finnish and Norwegian (Norsk, not Nynorsk) are a couple of thousand away from 100,000, so they'll hit their next milestone this month, too.
Congratulations to all involved.

Update on the Finnish wikipedia milestone; current best estimate is we will pass 100 000 articles around 24:00 GMT 12th of February (give or take a day or two ;)
The Finnish wikipedian community is planning to organize a celebratory public event (perhaps a panel/talks and/or a press junket sort of thing; not set in stone by any means); perhaps late in March. Anyone wishing to come and attend is wellcome, but if you are coming from afar, might be best to check the details with me or [[Käyttäjä:Joonasl]] on the Finnish Wikipedia.
Congratulations to all involved.
Thank you. Things are beginning to get interesting on the Finnish Wikipedia. In fact it is just about as active and large in size as the English Language wikipedia was about at the time I joined in 13th of April, 2003.
A milestone from the side of small wikipedias: Võro Wikipedia (fiu-vro) passed 1,000 articles last month.
Congatulations to Italians and to our neighbours Finns,

My best compliments! I come from a small language and know what it means to get that nember when your alphabetized users are not to be counted in millions :)
The first 1.000 mark is the worst. Once you have it you can be sure that your community will grow, and so will your weight in published material. Keep going :)
