# Dataset Card for "wikitext-18-de"

## Dataset Summary

The dataset is a german variation of the [wikitext](https://huggingface.co/datasets/wikitext) dataset and is a collection of 
ca. 18 million tokens. It follows the same approach by extracting from the "Good and Featured" articles on Wikipedia, but
for [German articles](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Featured_articles_in_other_languages/German). The dataset is
available under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.

The stated German version contains 2759 articles (visited: 27.06.23). Even though the smalle size of articles, compared to wikitext,
the dataset contains 18 million (whitespace) seperated tokens. Probably due to longer articles lengths and language.

The dataset retains the original case, punctuation, numbers and newlines, excluding images, tables and other data.
