[Foundation-l] Farsi wikipedia has reached 100 K article

Thu Aug 26 01:19:54 UTC 2010

Take a look at some of the new football-related articles on the Ewe
Wikipedia. I don't think this is cause for celebration at all:

http://ee.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Beckham
http://ee.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naohiro_Takahara
http://ee.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruud_van_Nistelrooy

I don't see a single word of Ewe... on any of those pages. I don't
think that user even speaks that language. All those pages should be
deleted.
