Dataset Card for Wikimedia Wikipedia

Dataset Summary

Wikipedia dataset containing cleaned articles of the English language.

The dataset is built from the Wikipedia dumps (https://dumps.wikimedia.org/) with one subset per language, each containing a single train split.

Each example contains the content of one full Wikipedia article with cleaning to strip markdown and unwanted sections (references, etc.).

All language subsets have already been processed for recent dump, and you can load them per date and language this way:

from datasets import load_dataset

ds = load_dataset("wikimedia/wikipedia", "20231101.en")

Data Visualization

Click the Nomic Atlas map below to visualize the 6.4 million samples in the 20231101.en split.

Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

The dataset is generally used for Language Modeling.

Languages

You can find the list of languages here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/List_of_Wikipedias

Dataset Structure

Data Instances

An example looks as follows:

{'id': '1',
 'url': 'https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/April',

 'text': 'April is the fourth month...'
}

Source Data

Initial Data Collection and Normalization

The dataset is built from the Wikipedia dumps: https://dumps.wikimedia.org

You can find the full list of languages and dates here: https://dumps.wikimedia.org/backup-index.html

The articles have been parsed using the mwparserfromhell tool.

When uploading the data files for the 20231101 dump, we noticed that the Wikimedia Dumps website does not contain this date dump for the "bbc", "dga", nor "zgh" Wikipedias. We have reported the issue to the Wikimedia Phabricator: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T351761
