[Foundation-l] Reporting about Wikipedia language editions

Sun Aug 3 17:03:28 UTC 2008

Hey, an interesting contact page the Japanese created...
Actually I mean articles like
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_Wikipedia
telling what is special about jp.WP, about some controversies,
policies, notability within the linguistic community, awards...

Users of small Wikipedias often believe that there is not much to tell
about, but they could report how many people regularly contribute (not
always the same as "active users" in Wikimedia Stats), whether there
have been contacts to language institutions, news coverage, where the
contributors come from, what they mainly write about, controversies
about the installation of the language edition, relations to other
editions (maybe in a similar language or dialect), text donations
(articles taken over from previous encyclopaedias)...

>> Hello,
>> It is difficult to get a overview about the single language editions
>> of Wikipedia, so I would like to urge the Wikipedians to report about
>> their edition e.g. in the English Wikipedia articles about single
>> Wikipedias. Alas, often those articles are often only list ups of
>> "mile stones" (when article number 10.000 had been created...).
