  • The Wikipedia of Ripuarian languages had its millionth edit (not counting deleted ones) in the first hours of the new year. It added Prositt Neujohr! about a little poem, a traditional new year morning greeting, to be recited before breakfast, while presenting a pretzel shaped sweet bread to the family.
