Ndonga problem

Hello, I noticed that the main page for the Wikipedia in the Ndonga language appears to have suffered from an attack. I do not know how to fix it and I do not know whom to tell, so I am just leaving a message here. Maybe someone can help. 94.193.242.183 01:24, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

I noticed that this is fixed now.

"Serbo-Croatian- a joke?

The fact that the so called "Serbo-Croatian" is listed as a separate language category beside the already existing Croatian and Serbian categories demonstrates Wikipedia's amateur aspect which is often politically motivated. The category "Serbo-Croatian" must be deleted if Wikipedia aspires to retain any form of credibility.--155.105.7.43 13:29, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Polyglott wikipedians

I see that this article is about wikipedias per article and not about wikipedians.
However, since the article about the statistics on wikipedians has ho discussion page, I will formulate here my request.
Because I've contributed to wikipedia in six different languages, I'm interested in knowing statistics about how many wikipedians contribute to more than one language edition and with how many articles and edits.
Thank you 82.90.46.143 14:37, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

I am curious about polyglots as well. I have contributions in more than six languages.

Wrong Aramaic language code

Wikipedia has an Assyrian Neo-Aramaic version, using the language code ”arc”.

However ’arc’ is the code for Official Aramaic (700-300 BCE). 2300 to 2700 years ago... Hardly a language vividly used today.

Assyrian Neo-Aramaic has the ISO 639-3 code ’aii’, covered by the macrolanguage code ’syr’ (Syriac) (which is also in ISO 639-2, it has no ISO 639-1 2-letter code).

So I would suggest changing the language code for that Wikipedia to ’aii’ (keeping the name Assyrian Neo-Aramaic).

Bot request to update Anglo-Saxon version of this page

I just created the Anglo-Saxon language version of this page, and I would like to request to have a bot update its statistic counts, just the same as it is done here. I'm not sure where to send such a request, but I figured that at least this talk page would be a good start. Thanks. —Wōdenhelm 03:05, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

Why it is so slow?

Changing The Ranks

I vote for inventing a new method to rank each wikipedia based on it's richness and activity rather than article count; as many wikipedias are more active with edits and content than others, but with less articles, yet they are ranked below those with less activity. so I think ranking by article is unrealistic and has to be changed to something that reflect the progress being made in each encyclopedia.

Nheengatu language

Can we create a nheengatu wikipedia page? Nijago

Replace "Images" column with more useful information?

The "Images" column isn't the true number of images in the wiki since it doesn't include the "common" images. Even if it was, I'm not sure it too useful. I can think of several attributes that would be more interesting.

1. Pages views - the metric used to figure out the "top ten" wikis
2. Article count growth - how many new articles are created every month?
3. Average article size - how big are the articles in the wiki (probably more useful than depth)
4. Active user count - how many users that are actively editting the wiki

How about we replace "Images" with one of the above. -MarsRover 06:00, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Of cause the number of local images is not a real mark of quality, but maybe having no images local but using only commons is? en:wikipedia could also reduce local images by large amounts, though more liberal local laws as these for "fair use" may not allow to remove all without reducing the articles quality? IMHO this column could be a mark of sound "wikipedianess" if showing a blank zero! For my main target, the de:wikipedia, it could be a good ambition to discard all local images, as local laws do not allow much more than others around the world, especially those applied to the commons. Something like "number of images used" could be a real quality related column replacement. Pages views would not be a good column if not related to the number of speakers of the respective language. Article count growth is just a momentary measure, active user count would punish small communities but is maybe a better replacement for the number of total users. average article size, in the end, is something I would like to see, though it has it's drabacks, too (valuing blabla over reducement to proofed facts). -- Käptn Weltall 16:36, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Having no images locally could mean they don't have any images at all. So, its not obvious from a low number whether the wiki is leveraging commons or completely devoid of images. Also, moving images to commons is great policy but doubt people come here to figure out the status of that work.

The idea of making "page views" relative to the size of the population would probably distort things more than correct them. The en.wp would have a huge number since a good percent of the page views are outside the english speaking countries.

With the advent of SUL, the user account number is probably not even close to the number of people that actually edit the articles. I agree with just replacing it with "active users".-MarsRover 19:36, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

The image column is the main reason why I check this page frequently. I find it interesting to see the progress of the move-to-commons-projects in different wikis. It also gives some hints to how liberal EDP's different wikis have. --Boivie 12:48, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Bot update breaks tables with Burmese language

This site appears to be updated by a bot (or un-attentive person) which breaks the 1000+ table by making the Burmese local name some huge unicode characters instead of မြန်မာဘာသာ, which appears to be the standard spelling (according to en:Burmese language). Sligocki 06:56, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

"Depth"

Where did this formula come from and what is it supposed to measure? Edits/Articles is more a measure of the amount of vandalism and trivial bot-editing than anything else, and Non-Articles/Articles is more a measure of bureaucracy and pointless user subpages than anything else. Which explains why the English Wikipedia ranks so highly. Gurch 15:58, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

This reedited quote may answer your concerns:

The most essential thing about Wikipedia is that it's COMMUNITY-based. "Wikipedian quality" (as Depth is most concisely defined) means how lively the community behind each Wikipedia is. Therefore, this part of the formula abandons all this vandalism paranoia and ignores rhetoric such as yours (i.e. FUD spread by certain interested anti-Wikipedia parties) and proves to be essential to what Wikipedia stands for: a living encyclopedia. And don't miss "living". It's the keyword.

Indeed, Wikipedia is made of BOTH articles AND "pointless" people (editors) with personal pages. AND all of their respective talk/conflict/war pages. Just like life and the junk inside and around your own neurons or muscle cells. In other words, the Depth formula is article+community-oriented. If enough people care to vandalize an article, this means there is enough passion behind it, enough readers for it, enough interest for it, enough eyeballs watching for "bugs", etc. Enough Wikipedian depth. Whether the article is always accurate or not is just as relevant as whether there's justice in a society: society comes first (except for Iraq, but this is just sarcasm).

If you are so narrowly and piously devoted to pure article-orientedness (like pragmatic production-oriented and people-objectifying pre-/anti- open source retrogrades and retarded Britannica-worshiping snobs), and since Depth is so irrelevant *to you*, why don't you just ignore it and watch the article count column only? And just let us watch the extent and Depth to which our "pointless" community (or "bureaucracy") do their talk and work and editing wars. These things matter to us. Why this conspiracy to take away our candies, disguised as truth-seeking and myth-busting?

If these concepts still don't make much sense to you, please stick to aol://britannica.com before it goes bankrupt. You'll get articles only, meaning exactly zero bureaucracy. Thank you.

(Don't worry about my tone; it was just a rant, just like most of your post.)

Listing of numbers of articles in other languages than English

On the main page of the English Wikipedia, a number of languages are grouped which have more than 300,000 articles. There are now Wikipedias in several languages which have more than 500,000 articles, and the German Wikipedia is likely to top a million before too much longer. I think it is time now, and it would be of some interest to the general reader to make more of these exciting developments. I suggest a category for languages which have more than 500,000 articles and, when the German Wikipedia reaches a million articles, I think this should receive special note. Would be interested in any comments. Cheers John Hill 15:04, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

What is an active user?

Would be good if there could be some info regarding what constitutes an active user, with the table. Ulflarsen 20:48, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

An active user is a user who has performed an action in the last 30 days. ASOTMKX 14:36, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

The Kanuri language has only 1 article, but 123 active users. That must be some article.

Varlaam 22:12, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

sorting

It is of course good that we added one more wiki and one more column, however, sorting in the table is now made in alphabetical order, not in numerical order as it was before the change. Could someone ellaborate on this? Mashiah Davidson 17:16, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

The sorting is messed up because there is spaces instead of commas in the numbers. ASOTMKX 14:34, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

s23.org

We should use the s23.org script, even if it doesn't have many metrics and absolutely every Wikipedia. If Mutante neglects the tool for an extended period of time, then we should stop using it. But the reason this page exists is to provide up-to-date statistics and to automate the process as much as possible. Do you know of an alternative script that provides similarly current (i.e., daily) numbers in wiki syntax? If so, it should be publicly available, so that other Wikipedians can keep this page up-to-date. Wikipedia has other sources for thoroughly analyzed, comprehensive statistics, such as stats.wikimedia.org, but the downside is that they're updated much less frequently. The less automation we allow, the more likely the tool will end up like Wikipedia:Multilingual statistics. – Minh Nguyễn (talk, contribs) 07:22, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

I would agree. I don't think I absolutely need "Active users" metric and the new tool maintainer doesn't look responsive enough. Mashiah Davidson 19:37, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedias with less than 10 articles.

Every single one of those is currently "closed" and have been for a few years now. I assume that they will not be opened anytime soon (I would love them to do so however if there are individuals who can write articles in that language and if there is such a request by all means). But for now, is there any reason for them to still appear on this list as if they are active wikis? All it seems to be doing is making the entire Wikipedia look like it has articles in 267 languages (on this page anyway) when it really only has 260. Cheers.Calaka 14:12, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Four new wikipedias to add

I've notified Mutante, the user whose script we fed into this page until recently. Once the script is updated, we can hopefully start using it again – there's no way we can expect people to be updating this huge page by hand. – Minh Nguyễn (talk, contribs) 07:59, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Arrange by active users

Does not work! It goes by the first digit so that for example 1100 < 21. I guess it's in alphabetical mode instead of numeric mode or something? I don't know how to change this. Eb.eric 14:39, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

• Gan wikipedias have 4400+ articles , but Wiki Stats data is 6800+ articles.
• Dutch Low Saxon wikipedias have 3800+ articles , but Wiki Stats data is 6800+ articles.

Who objects to a 500,000+ list, and why?

I have twice seen attempts to split the 100,000+ List of Wikipedias (and there may have been other attempts I did not see) into 500,000+ and 100,000+, but within days it reverts to a single list of 100,000+. Surely a list with Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch, Italian, Japanese, Polish, French & German would provide a finer and more meaningful distinction. German is soon to join English in the 1,000,000+ list, but since it will have only one-third the number of entries, that will say nothing very useful for comparative purposes. If Wikipedia articles were aligned with world literacy and education, Polish and Dutch would slip down a few places, and Russian up a few. A list showing 500,000 to 1,000,000 entries would reflect these trends visually. I think everyone understands why Chinese is not represented to the extent statistics would predict. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by 58.136.57.64 (talk) 22:23, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

You could discuss this with Mutante, who maintains the script that we use to update the page. If the page is changed without a corresponding change in his script, everything will revert as soon as someone updates the tables. This page isn't really intended to be a statement about the importance of certain languages over others, just a plain listing of data. There are much more interesting ways to visualize and compare language editions, especially Erik Zachte's statistics animations. Perhaps we should be publicizing these resources better. – Minh Nguyễn (talk, contribs) 08:46, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

Why separate tables anyway? Is this due to a sorting problem? --Matthead 20:16, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

Belarusian (Tarashkevitsa) language name

Hi! Аccording to the language title in the localization messageы file [3] and IANA language subtag registry [4] (plain text is used there) the proper name of the orthography is Taraškievica.

Please change the title of 'Western Panjabi' to 'Punjabi (Shahmukhi)' and 'Punjabi to 'Punjabi (Gurmukhi)' as it is appropriate description. Western Punjabi is a set of dialects which should not be confused with Shahmukhi which is Punjabi written in persio-arabic script.

What's happened to the chiense articles?

I've been familiar with wikipedia more or less since the beginning. I remember german used to be the #2 in total pages (artciles + non-articles) for a long time, up to about 3 million. At that point , the chinese articles overtook that count. There was even some news coverage as the chinese pages overtook the english pages in highest count. That was at least 3 million pages. Now, neither the german nor the chinese page counts are that high. What happened? Were that many of the pages non-articlesw that would get deleted over time? -- Robbie

Depth 300 for articles <100,000

“ Depths above 300 for Wikipedias below 100 000 articles have been automatically dismissed as irrelevant. ”

By my count, there are now 16 entries where the "depth 300" rule is not being applied correctly. OTOH, a cursory look suggests that it might be implemented with "depth 500" as the actual rule, which would just imply that the description of depth in the notes is incorrect. 69.3.227.82 01:00, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

Anglo-Saxon

1) Shouldn't Anglo-Saxon be called Old English? That's what the article is called in the English Wikipedia, redirecting from Anglo-Saxon language.

2) Maybe not relevant to this page (I'm still looking for the appropriate place to post it), but what led me to navigate to this page was noticing that the interwiki links at the left of a Wikipedia article give the name of each target language in that language (Deutsch, Français, Polski, etc.) except for Old English, where it says "Anglo-Saxon", rather than "Englisc". How can this be fixed? Girlwithgreeneyes 11:13, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

Turkmen language

Turkmen language uses Latin script but it's name is written by Cyrillic and Arabic. I think it should be changed.

Arabic script hasn't been used by the majority of Turkmen speakers since 1929 and is only used by a very small amount of Turkmen-speakers in Iran/Afghanistan.

Some languages (such as Arabic and Hebrew) have multi byte characters. How does the depth figure reflect this? This might explain the disproportionally high depth figures for both Arabic and Hebrew.

Korea Wikipedia have more article then turkey's

I think we need to refresh them, Because some rank changed --Ho949494 14:25, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

Geographic map of wikipedias?

Wikipedia-tshirt-languages

I know that languages don't map easily to geographic areas, but I'd love to be able to help at least generally link people between the languages represented on the Wikipedia tshirt pictured here, and places in the real world. We now have a legend linking each "wordmark" to at least one language which uses it, at http://i54.tinypic.com/so72m9.jpg

Is there a database or table on wikipedia linking each of the wikipedias to any sort of geographical information? E.g. a map of where the language is used, or some sort of center-of-gravity of that use? Nealmcb 01:34, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

Is it possible to place the Latin Wikipedia, the Esperanto Wikipedia, or the Volapük Wikipedia wordmark? Johnny Au 02:15, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

Repeat of section

Notice 2.10 to 2.17 is a repeat of the sections 2.2 to 2.9. Why is it so? Please fix it if it was not meant to be there. Thanks. 112.200.9.61 11:45, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

Broken article count links

Due to MediaWiki Bug 27601, the links under the Articles column no longer bring you to a plain text list of statistics for a given wiki, but instead go to the wiki's fully-formatted, localized statistics page, which can be a bit inconvenient. Until that bug is fixed, the workaround is to use the MediaWiki API:

Cypriot language

Please can you put in this list the cypriot greek (Κυπριακά) (cyp) cyp.wikipedia.org? --Teomatra 12:37, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

cyp.wikipedia.org seems not to exist. If you want to start a Wikipedia in a new language, please use the new language request page and follow the guidelines there. Wojciech Pędzich Talk 12:37, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

which is it (link)?--Teomatra 12:41, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

I linked it above - Requests for new languages. Just remember that the language needs to be registered with an ISO code, must have a high enough number of speakers and a potential edior group which will keep the Wikipedia growing. More information on the page which I linked to. Wojciech Pędzich Talk 13:07, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

I dont understand ISO code. --Teomatra 13:26, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

It is ISO 639-3: see this page: en:List of ISO 639-3 codes. I don't see a code for Cypriot language there. If you look at en:Cypriot Greek, you will see it is described as a dialect, not a separate language and it does not have own language code according to the ISO norm which I linked before. Wojciech Pędzich Talk 13:38, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

e.g. ISO 3166 code CY--Teomatra 13:47, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

Look at this list - there is no language code "cy" for Cypriot. The code "cy" is reserved for Welsh (Cymraeg) language. Wojciech Pędzich Talk 13:50, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

The ISO code of Wales isnt Cy cy is Cyprus. see here http://www.iso.org/iso/english_country_names_and_code_elements#c..--Teomatra 13:58, 24 February 2011 (UTC) Who do I press to request?--Teomatra 13:58, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

We are speaking about two different things. You mention geographical names of countries, which you link. And yes, CY is Cyprus there, but it's a territory code. What I am speaking of here is a language code, which does not exist for Cypriot. In Poland (PL according to the geographical code) we have Polish (pl / pol), Kashubian (csb) and Silesian (szl) languages. Sometimes the codes for counties and languages are the same, but in this case they are not. There will be no use pressing anyone - you simply must prove that Cypriot has a right for its own Wikipedia, has enough speakers to justify it. Please see the document Meta:Language proposal policy which shows in detail what the language must show to be able to register a new project. Wojciech Pędzich Talk 14:00, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

Τhat can not be created?--Teomatra 14:04, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

I am not saying it cannot be created, because I do not know much about the specifics of the language. I gave you a link to the language proposal policy - you must read it and decide if Cypriot meets those criteria. If it does, you can make a request for a new language, answer the questions that show up. I see that there will be a problem regarding the ISO code which I mentioned earlier (doesn't exist for Cypriot, because Cypriot is regarded as a dialect, not a language), but please read the document and make your decision if Cypriot meets some/most/all the criteria. Wojciech Pędzich Talk 14:13, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

I searched and found the ISO code. Once they accept this request will help me in the articles?--Teomatra 14:22, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

One question - where did you find the ISO code for Cypriot Greek and what is it you found? I can see Cypriot Turkish (tur), Cypriot Arabic (acy), but I cannot find the ISO code for Cypriot Greek. Speaking of help - I do not speak, do not use and do not understand Cypriot Greek, so I will not be able to write even one sentence... you need a group of editors who actually understand the language and can write in it. Wojciech Pędzich Talk 14:32, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

I am a Cypriot and a little program I bought and then I found the code.--Teomatra 14:49, 24 February 2011 (UTC) go to google translation and the translation, however, know the greek translation and will be ok I get it? send me to my discussion on the Greek Wikipedia. --Teomatra 14:58, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

What is the ISO code for Cypriot Greek according to your sources? I was not able to find it using my knowledge. Wojciech Pędzich Talk 14:59, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

There is none. It's Greek. Seb az86556 00:23, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

two languages listed as Kurdish

Per a discussion at en:Talk:Main Page#Main page: Where to ask?, there are two languages listed as "كوردی ", aka "Kurdi", both here and at Www.wikipedia.org template. The larger is for the Kurmanji "کورمانجی" dialect of Kurdish and the smaller is for the Sorani "سۆرانی" dialect. The names given here may be better given as the specific dialects, rather than the overarching language, to avoid confusion. - BanyanTree 05:29, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

Active users

What does it mean? Does it mean those who edit over 5 times during a month? I cannot find the criteria for the measure on the content page. If someone knows where the criteria on the page or how the number of active users counts, please let me know it.Cooldenny 05:43, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

Active users = Users who have performed an action in the last 30 days. See en:Special:Statistics.--Imrek 20:33, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

Mycenaean language

Please can you put in this list the Mycenaean Greek (Μυκηναϊκή) (gmy) gmy.wikipedia.org? --Teomatra 15:07, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

there is no gmy.wikipedia.org, either. Seb az86556 14:26, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
